I love this series so much, documentaries are truly better then movies
I am Zambian and grew up about 100km from Ndola and have been to the crash site. I remember my late father telling me about this accident in the late 70s.
I feel there is strong evidence that this plane was shot down. Harold Julien who survived the crash but died 5 days later in hospital told the investigators that Dag shouted "Go back", there were explosions, great speed (likely the plane in a high rate of descent), then the plane crashed; likely the pilots managed to regain control of the plane and pull it out of its descent, but they hit the trees at a shallow rate of descent. NSA officers Charles Southall and Paul Abrahm, stationed in Cyprus and Crete and were listening to radio conversations both said they heard the voice of a Belgian mercenary pilot named Jan van Risseghem over the radio saying: "I see a transport plane coming low. All the lights are on. I'm going down to make a run on it. Yes, it is the Transair DC-6. It's the plane," then they heard the sound of gunfire and the pilot exclaiming: "I've hit it. There are flames! It's going down. It's crashing!" There were eyewitness accounts who said they saw the DC-6 circling overhead for some time. They looked up to see a fighter jet approaching the DC-6 and shooting down the plane. Even today, these witnesses will say that they saw two planes in the sky.
A friend of Jan van Risseghem, Pierre Coppens, told him said that the night Hammarskjold's plane crashed, he was instructed to take down a Transair DC-6, he didn't know why but those were his orders. He took off from the dirt strip in Kipushi, much closer to Ndola than Kolwezi -- where the Rhodesian investigators believed a Fouga Magister would have taken off. Van Risseghem stripped nearly everything out so he could carry an external fuel tank and a cannon. It was only the next day did he learn that the plane he shot down was the U.N. Secretary General's plane. He said: 'Sometimes you have to do things you don’t want to…’
Well at gone midnight it will be very dark and the hill will have no illumination
So the pilots cannot see the hill that is dead ahead and staring them in the face, in day light this accident would not have happened as took would see the hill
There was only one Survivor that died but sometimes it can't hold it
The voice is the best as well
Smithsonian channel should spend money for boosting their channel. Then the number of Subscribers will rise rapidly
I was wondering isnt there a "PULL UP" warning? Then I notice it was the 60s
The cause of this accident was wrong drawing on the maps the crew use to fly into the airport
🥶🥶🥶
