Lauda Air Shrine

Lauda Air Flight NG004 was a regularly scheduled international passenger flight between Bangkok, Thailand and Vienna, Austria. On 26 May 1991 a Boeing 767-300ER operating the flight crashed due to an uncommanded deployment of the thrust reverser on the No.1 engine in mid-flight, killing all 213 passengers and the ten crew members on board. It is the deadliest aviation accident involving a Boeing 767 and the deadliest aviation accident in Thailand. The crash also marked the aircraft type's first fatal incident and first hull loss. Lauda Air was founded and run by the former Formula One world motor racing champion Niki Lauda. Lauda was personally involved in the accident investigation. The aircraft involved was a Boeing 767-300ER that had been delivered new to Lauda Air on 16 October 1989. It wore the manufacturing number MSN 24628, was registered as OE-LAV, and was christened Mozart. [Source: Wikipedia]
