On June 16th, 2024, Air Ice Connect flight 171, a Boeing 707, crash landed at JFK International Airport, killing 43 of the 94 occupants onboard. The cause of the crash was poor weather and visibility combined with pilot error. The plane “bounced” 2 times because of hard landing and eventually, the tail section impacted first, then the rest of the plane. It remains the deadliest crash in AIC’s history. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/ice711community/original/2X/e/e42dbef74af437094b5be49c8b5b80907a910b60.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/ice711community/original/2X/a/a63bd37a1e7be1c49c7134d88d6c2f8750155b6f.jpeg) ---
