[it] Volo Comair 206
Martedì 1 marzo 1988 un Embraer EMB-110P1 Bandeirante, che operava il volo Comair 206 da Phalaworba a Johannesburg[1], si stava avvicinando all'aeroporto internazionale di Johannesburg per atterrare quando andò in pezzi sopra Germiston.[2][3] I rapporti indicavano che a bordo era presente un ordigno esplosivo; la cabina di pilotaggio fu trovata a un quarto di chilometro di distanza dal resto della fusoliera, nonostante l'Embraer fosse relativamente basso al momento dell'incidente. Un minatore a bordo aveva stipulato una polizza assicurativa sulla vita piuttosto consistente poco prima del volo.[2] Non ci furono superstiti.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
