Addis Ababa-Bole Airport Crash
On the 19th of June 2005, a Mahfooz Aviation Boeing 707-347C
crashed while landing at
Addis Ababa-Bole Airport in Ethiopia. Luckily all 5 crew
survived, but the aircraft was written off.
Although I could be wrong (hey, it’s happened before), I believe
that this Google Earth satellite photo shows the wreckage of that
exact crashed plane!
So, what’s my proof? Firstly, the satellite photo is dated as
November 2005 and the June crash is the only Addis Ababa-Bole
Airport incident listed on the http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20050619-1&lang=en
Aviation Safety Network for the whole of 2005.
For further proof I measured the wingspan of the crashed plane
using the Google Earth ruler, and it more or less matches the 44.42
m wingspan of a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_707 707-320B.
Anyone able to prove me wrong (or even right)?
