Global Aviation News Article
November 19, 2004
Newsday (New
York), "Avianca crash spurred changes in safety steps"
On
a foggy winter night in 1990, an Avianca passenger jet carrying
158 people crashed into a hillside in the secluded community
of Cove Neck.
There was no fireball.
No smoky wreckage
on the ground. Investigators and emergency responders would later say that was
because the jet, heading from Bogota, Colombia, to Kennedy Airport, had simply
run out of fuel while circling and waiting to land. A total of 73 out of the
158 people on board died.
