This happened 10 years ago, but it never gets old.
This was the first deliberate crash of an aircraft following NASA's and Federal Aviation Authority 's Controlled Impact Demonstration conducted in 1984.The Boeing 727 crash was conducted by a filming crew consisting of members of the Discovery Channel, Channel 4 in the U.K., and pro-Sieben in Germany. The aircraft registered as XB-MNP was owned by the Discovery Channel after it spent over 35 years in service of various airlines and was made part of the historic crash.
The pilots flew the aircraft toward the uninhabited part of the Sonoran Desert of Baja California and the crew parachuted out of the aircraft one by one. Navy veteran and American Airlines pilot Chip Shanle, then remotely controlled the aircraft flying in a chase plane as the Boeing 727 crashed into the ground at 140 miles an hour.As seen in the first video, the aircraft did not explode even as it broke into several pieces upon impact.
The study found that passengers closer to the wings of the aircraft would face injuries but no life-threatening ones but the ones near the tail would walkway from the impact with few injuries.
