What happened on 12 June 1950?

Let me tell you that exactly 75 years ago, 12 June 1950, that is, Air France Douglas DC-4 (F-BBDE) aircraft crashed near Bahrain Airport in Arabian Sea, in which 46 people died. The aircraft was on a flight from Sygon to Paris and was reaching Bahrain after a stop in Karachi.

6 people survived alive, died 46

At the time of the accident, the aircraft approached the Bahrain approach at an altitude of 6,500 feet and took permission to land up to 2,000 feet. The aircraft crossed the airport at an altitude of about 1,000 feet and then permission to land on the runway 29, but the plane crashed due to the sea surface collision. 46 people died in this accident, while 6 people survived.

The potential cause of the accident is believed to not have an accurate monitoring of height and infrastructure rate by the pilot. At that time there was no radio landing aid and proper runway lighting at Bahrain Airport, which was one of the factors contributing to the accident.
