Turkish Airlines Flight 981 was a McDonnell Douglas DC-10 that crashed outside Paris, France on March 3, 1974, killing all 346 people on board. The accident, also known as the "Ermenonville air disaster" from the forest where the aircraft crashed, is the deadliest accident involving a DC-10, has the fourth highest aviation death count ever, the second highest death count of a single-plane crash, and was the highest death toll of any crash until the Tenerife airport disaster three years later. It is also the deadliest plane crash ever without any survivors.
