Among those killed in the crash were Prince Gustaf Adolf of Sweden (at the time of his death, second in line to the Swedish throne), U.S. opera singer Grace Moore, and Danish actress Gerda Neumann.[2] Prince Gustaf Adolf was the father of the present king of Sweden Carl XVI Gustaf. Moore's body was first flown to Paris on another KLM aircraft,[3] and then to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where she was buried in the Forest Hills Cemetery, during a ceremony attended by around eight thousand people.[4][5][6]
The probable cause of the crash was determined to be failure to remove the gust locks that had secured the aircraft's elevators while it was parked.[7] It was the worst aviation disaster in Denmark at the time of the crash.[7]
