The airplane was going at a steady speed. Passengers were comfortable and enjoying their flight when The aircraft suffered an explosive decompression from an incorrectly repaired pressure bulkheads. These bulkheads failed in mid flight, destroying most of its vertical stabilizer and severed all of the hydraulic lines, making the Plane virtually uncontrollable. The pilots were able to keep the plane flying for thirty minutes after the mechanical failure before crashing into a mountain.

Unfortunately the pilots died as well as the majority of passengers. Only a few survived.
