The Unfortunate Tale of Britannia Airways Flight 226 Alpha
On the night of September 14th, 1999, a routine flight filled with vacationers took a turn for the worse as Britannia Airways Flight 226 Alpha approached Girona Airport in Spain amidst heavy thunderstorms. With 236 passengers and nine crew members onboard, the flight originated from Cardiff, Wales, headed for a sun-soaked escape from the typical UK weather. However, the unknown severity of the storm led to a catastrophic landing attempt, which left the aircraft skidding off the runway, breaking apart, and injuring 44 individuals.
