The date of April 2 is also recorded in aviation history with a unique and very horrific incident. Many people lost their lives in this horrific accident, which also included the life of a small innocent child.

A terrible accident happened four decades ago

Almost four decades ago, on 2 April 1986, a bomb blast took place in a passenger plane Boeing 727 of TWA, a leading American airline. This plane was going to Athens via Rome. The distance between Rome and Athens is about 1272 kilometers, which takes about 15 hours to reach by train. On the other hand, this journey can be completed in just two to three hours by plane. This is why the plane that took off from Rome to Athens was packed with passengers at that time.

A bomb blast created a big hole in the plane

The plane took off from Rome on time. After this, when the plane was at a height of about 15,000 feet in the air, at about 02:32 local time, a bomb placed under a seat in the plane exploded. The bomb exploded and a 3 to 4 feet big hole was created in the plane and the four American citizens sitting there fell out of the plane due to air pressure. An eight-month-old girl was also involved in this horrific accident.

The pilot had made a safe landing of the plane

This incident happened when the plane had reached very close to Athens airport. However, there was no hope of anyone surviving after the bomb exploded in the plane. But, in this terrible situation, the pilot of the plane very carefully made an emergency and safe landing of the plane at Athens airport, which saved the lives of 118 passengers sitting in the plane.

The Ezzedine Qassam unit of the Arab Revolutionary Cells claimed responsibility for the bombing of the American passenger plane and called it a revenge for the American bombing of Libya.
