OTD in 1980, Dan-Air Flight 1008 strikes a mountain in heavy fog killing all 146 instantly. The cause of the crash was the captain flying the plane into an area of high terrain without maintaining the safe distance above ground along with an unclear and ambiguous communication by ATC. : r/aircrashinvestigation (reddit.com)
