I recently came across the picture above of a Kuwait Airways plane crash dating to 1966.
Only a month after Kuwait Airways received their brand new plane, it crashed on landing due to pilot error and was written off.
On 30 June 1966, the Trident 1E registration 9K-ACG was destroyed when it crashed 4KM short of the runway at Kuwait International.
The plane was on its way back from Beirut when the plane descended at a high rate and the pilot didn’t follow the proper regulations.
A higher resolution of the photo is available here, and a full report of the incident can be downloaded from here.
