(“Western Airlines Flight 2605”, nicknamed the “Night Owl” (Spanish: “El Tecolote”), was an international scheduled passenger flight from Los Angeles, California, to Mexico City, Mexico)
(on ’31 October 1979′, at 5:42 a.m. CST (UTC−06:00), the aircraft used for the flight, a McDonnell Douglas DC-10, crashed at Mexico City International Airport in fog, after landing on a runway closed for maintenance)
(of the 88 people on board, 72 were killed in the crash; and one person on the ground, a maintenance worker, also died when the plane struck his vehicle)
(the event is the third-deadliest aviation accident to occur on Mexican soil, after the crashes of two Boeing 727s—the 1969 crash of Mexicana Flight 704 and Mexicana Flight 940 in 1986—and the seventh-deadliest accident involving a DC-10)
(the crash of Flight 2605 was 1 of 3 fatal McDonnell Douglas DC-10 accidents in 1979, occurring just over five months after the crash of American Airlines Flight 191 at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and less than a month before the crash of Air New Zealand Flight 901 on ‘mount erebus’ in ‘antarctica’)
