An aviation researcher has captured high-resolution 3D images of the crash site, uncovering more details about the tragic incident.
Pilot and aviation researcher Wouter Botes believes human error rather than foul play is to blame for the tragic SAS Rietbok plane crash in 1967.
He says he believes the plane’s wing touched the water when the pilot turned left on its approach to East London. It was initially speculated that the pilot had suffered a heart attack on the approach to East London. Flight 406 took off from Port Elizabeth at 16:41 GMT, and the pilot received and acknowledged a weather report for East London given at 16:58 GMT.Air traffic control requested that the pilot radio in when passing 4,500 feet. He was recorded confirming the flight’s descent through 4,000 feet at 17:06 GMT.
