Pacific Southwest Airlines Flight 1771 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deja vu.
I just read that wikipedia article as I didn't know about that incident. I found it amazing that it mentions not being able to identify the remains of the passengers due to the plane hitting the ground at 600mph nose first. Yet they found the handgun and the note he wrote on the air sickness bag intact! Crazy how physics works sometimes.
