Aer Lingus Flight 712
Today we’re going to be talking about a very tragic accident that Occurred over the Irish Sea, Aer Lingus Flight 712. If there is one country we don’t get to talk about all too often on this channel, it’s Ireland. Ireland’s aviation safety record is very admirable. The small country in North West Europe, in the last half century, has only ever seen one fatal plane crash and it didn’t even involve an Irish Airline. Before this period however, Ireland suffered its fair share of air accidents as with many nations adjusting to the new age of passenger air travel.
Ireland’s deadliest air disaster occurred on March 24th, 1968. Aer Lingus Flight 712 is certainly interesting as the cause of the accident was never fully determined, and is a perfect case study of an accident in that category and how a small country which had just suffered such a horrifying loss deals with that. When discussing this disaster we naturally have to tread into the uneasy territory of… theoretical possibilities and speculation. One theory even brings up uncomfortable questions about what Ireland’s neighbor was doing that day. Let’s examine the possibilities and see if we can shed some light on the mystery of flight 712.
