The 1983 TAAG Angola Airlines Boeing 737 crash occurred just after a Boeing 737-200 took off from Lubango Airport at Lubango, Angola, on a regular domestic flight (flightnumber DT462) to Quatro de Fevereiro Airport in Luanda on November 8, 1983.[1][2] The aircraft had 126 passengers and four crew on board.[3]

Aircraft

The aircraft involved was a one-year-old Boeing 737-2M2 (registration D2-TBN, factory no. 22775, and serial no. 869) that had its first maiden flight on April 29, 1982 and was delivered to TAAG Angola Airlines on May 6 the same year.[4] The aircraft was powered by two Pratt & Whitney JT8D-17 turbofan engines.[5]

Crash

The aircraft was at {{Convert|200|ft|m|abbr=}} and climbing when it began to descend and turn left. The left wingtip hit the ground, and the aircraft broke apart and burst into flames. The wreckage came to rest {{Convert|800|m|ft|abbr=}} from the end of the runway at Lubango Airport. The crash killed all 130 people on board.[3]

Cause

UNITA guerillas claimed to have shot down the aircraft—which they believed to be carrying only military personnel—with a surface-to-air missile to protest Angola's government.[6] Post-crash investigation of the aircraft's wreckage by the Angolan authorities revealed no conclusive evidence of missile damage, and the cause of the crash is officially considered to be a mechanical failure.[7]
