When Flight 5634 was nearing Paris, a Korean Air Boeing 747 scraped an engine pod on landing, causing air traffic controllers to close the runway briefly. The pilots were notified to change course to another runway. While in clouds and heavy fog on short final, the airliner entered a high sink rate and crashed into the ground tail-first. The aircraft broke into two, but there was no fire. The crash killed 4 passengers and 19 further were injured in the accident.
