a boeing 737 is approaching dubrovnik croatia with a bunch of goverenment officals on board during a war period on april 3 1996. the weather though is not good today infact commerical flights (this is a goverenment charter) is cancelled. among the passengrs is commerce secutary ron brown. the flight is delayed and has to avoid restricted airspace due to the war there is also clouds to avoid. the plane is an older 737. the flight is under the command of captain aj davis. as the weather is not good the crew need to stay in communcation with atc. the atc restrictions force them onto a longer route to dubrovnik. the crew expect to see hear the beacons which are needeed for the appraoch but with the weather bad its not good and is also outdated technology. the crew continue to decend and hear the first signal. as they approach the airport the plane hears the terrain alarm and goes mising. despite thinking they could have diverted or crashed into the sea the plane is found in the mountains with only the flight attendant surviving and she dies of injuries. the cause is determined to be problems with the millitary chain of command approving dangeorous approaches and lack of proper equipment including the wrong minimum safe altitude for the approach.
next time why you avoid low cost carriers who are banned from some countries.
