An incident took place in the year 1993, when all 18 players of a country’s national team died in the plane crash. This painful event will still bring tears to your eyes.
This is the incident of April 27, 1993 and no one thought that the dead bodies would be seen lying on the beach with the rising sun the next morning. For the 1994 FIFA World Cup qualifier match, Zambia’s football team was to go to Dakar (Senegal’s capital) for the match against Senegal. The Air Force of Jambia had arranged a special aircraft for its team. The aircraft was to stop 3 times for refueling to cover a distance of about 6,000 km from Jambia to Senegal.
The aircraft had 25 passengers and five crew members, including players and support staff of the Zambian football team. The flight took the first stop for refueling at Brazavil (Central Africa), where there was some problem in the engine, despite the aircraft flew from the first stop and for the second time the land was landed on the Liberville (west coast of Africa) for refueling. When the plane flew from Liberville Airport after refueling, the engine caught fire after a few moments.
The pilot accidentally stopped the engine on the right. It was also revealed that the fatigue of the pilot and the poor equipment were a major reason for the plane crash. Since the pilot had stopped the wrong engine, the aircraft crashed into the water 500 meters away. In 2003, a report was released in Gabon country, claiming that the pilot had made a mistake due to the defect of the warning light. All 18 players of the Zambian team as well as the national coach were also killed in the incident.
