TWA Flight 159

Trans World Airlines (TWA) Flight 159 was a regularly scheduled passenger flight from New York to Los Angeles, California with a stopover in Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, Kentucky that crashed after an aborted takeoff from Cincinnati on 6 November 1967. The Boeing 707 attempted to abort takeoff when the copilot became concerned that the aircraft had collided with a disabled DC-9 on the runway. The aircraft overran the runway, struck an embankment, and caught fire. All 29 passengers and 7 crew escaped the aircraft, and one passenger died of his injuries four days later.
