A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri November 20, 2009: A piece of history preserved with this clear image of TC-JAV - 'Ship 29' as she was known to McDonnell-Douglas. RIP to all those killed on TK flight 981, 3rd March 1974.
A visitor from Turkey posted Sun April 12, 2009: A strange feeling, seeing this. it is so sad that makes me get a shiver while thinking that this was somehow alive but it is not anymore. rest in peace all those souls who lost their lives; may god be with you.
A visitor from United States posted Thu February 5, 2009: This is a clear, full-color photo of the particular DC-10 that went down in the Ermenonville Forest in '74. The horrific loss of life (over 300 passengers, no survivors) makes this photo a kind of living memorial, living in the sense that here is the aircraft while it was "alive," so to speak. I was traumatized by the tragedy when I read about in the papers; so many precious lives were lost.
