Pilot's Eyewitness Account: The Night Boeing 707 Crash in Mwanza, Tanzania

In a dramatic night landing attempt, TA 310, a Boeing 707, faced a disastrous impact at Mwanza, Tanzania. The tower warned the pilot, “TA 310, you are too low!” but the pilot boldly replied, “Shut up, Tower. I know what I’m doing.” The crash resulted in all four engines and landing gear being torn off, yet miraculously, the fuselage remained intact. The crew escaped without injuries and was rescued by a fishing boat. Ironically, the aircraft was scheduled to pick up a load of fish, raising questions about possible miscommunication.
