Spantax Flight 995 crash site
Málaga, Spain (ES)
Spantax Flight 995 was a charter flight from Madrid-Barajas Airport to NYC via Málaga Airport on 9/13/82. When the DC-10 aircraft was rolling for take-off from Malaga, the pilot felt a strong and worsening vibration and aborted the take-off. The flight crew lost control of the aircraft and were unable to stop in the runway available and the aircraft overran the runway, hit an airfield aerial installation, losing an engine, then crossed the Malaga–Torremolinos Highway, hitting a number of vehicles before finally hitting a railway embankment and bursting into flames. An emergency evacuation of the aircraft was carried out, but 50 on board died of burns and other injuries. A further 110 people were hospitalized.
