Description

Il volo Southern Airways 242 era il codice identificativo di un volo di linea della Southern Airways che il 4 aprile 1977, a causa dello spegnimento di entrambi i motori causato da un violento temporale, tentò un atterraggio di emergenza sulla Highway 92, una strada rurale presso New Hope, in Georgia. Al momento dell'incidente l'aereo stava compiendo la seconda tratta del volo Muscle Shoals-Huntsville-Atlanta; le vittime furono in totale 72, compreso nove persone che si trovavano a terra.
Prima del decollo da Huntsville il capitano William Wade McKenzie ed il primo ufficiale Lyman Woods Keele jr. furono avvisati della presenza di forti temporali con possibile formazione di tornado lungo la loro rotta, ma siccome la mattina stessa avevano già volato la tratta provenendo da Atlanta ed avevano incontrato solamente lievi turbolenze e pioggia leggera, non pensarono che il tempo potesse peggiorare.
