Description
-
TWA Flight 159 ran off the runway while attempting to take off from the Greater Cincinnati Airport. While attempting to take off, the crew thought that they had struck a Delta Airlines plane that was stuck in the mud near the runway and immediately aborted takeoff. Later investigations showed that the TWA plane did not contact the Delta plane.
-
All 29 passengers and 7 crew escaped. 11 were treated from injuries and 1 passenger died four days later.
