1972 Königs Wusterhausen air disaster

The 1972 Königs Wusterhausen air disaster occurred on 14 August when an Interflug airplane crashed shortly after take-off from Berlin-Schönefeld Airport in Schönefeld, East Germany, on a holiday charter flight to Burgas, Bulgaria. All 156 passengers and crew died, making it the second-deadliest aviation accident in the world at that time (only surpassed by All Nippon Airways Flight 58), as well as the worst one in either East or West Germany to date.
