The Boeing 747- 244B ( SF) with the registration 9G - MKJ was on the flight Luxembourg -US Halifax- Zaragoza - Luxembourg (flight number MK 1602). Before starting in Halifax drowsy crew was a false start weights in the on-board computer, which a start was very difficult, because the starting speed was not enough. The rear of the fully loaded machine slipped when trying to start an ILS transmitter and an embankment and broke off. The machine rolled over into an adjacent forest and burned out completely. Of the seven crew members, none survived the disaster.
