Abashayeli bezindiza kanye nonjiniyela wendiza, ababili kwabayishumi abasebenza ezindizeni, nabagibeli abangama-10 kwabangu-96 bafa. Kusinde abagibeli nabasebenzi abangu-163 kuphela.
I-Eastern Air Lines Flight 401 Ukuphahlazeka:

Ngenkathi izisebenzi zazigxile enkombeni yegiya lokwehla, indiza yehla ngokungazi yavele yaya phezulu yaphaphazeka ngokushesha.
Ukutakulwa Nokufa:
UStockstill ushonele khona lapho ngesikhathi indiza ishayisa ixhaphozi iFlorida Everglades. UCaptain Robert Loft noSecond Officer uDonald Repo basindile kule ngozi, kungekudala. Kodwa-ke, uCaptain Loft ushone ngaphambi kokuba asindiswe kule ngozi. U-Officer Repo ushone ngakusasa esibhedlela. Kubantu abangu-176 abebesemkhunjini, abangu-101 balahlekelwe yimiphefumulo yabo kule nhlekelele.
Ukuhlaselwa KweNdiza 401:
UFrank Borman, ngaphambi kokuba yi-CEO ye-Eastern Airlines, ufike endaweni yesehlakalo wasiza ukuhlenga abagibeli bezindiza. Ngemuva kwalomcimbi, kuvela ithuba elisha njengomphumela. Ezinyangeni naseminyakeni eyalandela, abasebenzi be-Eastern Air Lines baqala ukubika ukubonwa kwamalungu abasebenzi abashonile, ukaputeni uRobert Loft nesikhulu sesibili uDonald Repo, behleli kwezinye izindiza ze-L-1011. Kuthiwa uDon Repo uzovela kuphela ukuxwayisa ngezinkinga zemishini noma ezinye ezidinga ukuhlolwa.
Izingxenye zezindiza ezazishayise ukusebenza kweFlight 401 zasindiswa ngemuva kophenyo lokuphahlazeka zaphinde zangena kwamanye ama-L-1011. Ukuqhathwa okubikiwe kubonwe kuphela ezindizeni ebezisebenzisa lezo zingxenye. Ukubukwa kwemimoya kaDon Repo noRobert Loft kwasabalala kuyo yonke iMpumalanga Air Lines kwaze kwaba sezingeni lapho abaphathi baseMpumalanga bexwayisa abasebenzi ukuthi bangabhekana nokuxoshwa uma bebanjwa besakaza izindaba eziyizipoki.
Kepha amahemuhemu endiza yokundiza ayesevele esabalele kude nakude. Ithelevishini nezincwadi zikhulume izindaba zeNdiza 401 Ghosts. Ngalesi sikhathi, uFrank Borman wayeyi-CEO ye-Eastern Airlines eyabiza lezi zindaba ngokuthi 'udoti ohaqayo' futhi wacabanga ukumangalela abakhiqizi be-movie eyenziwe ngo-1978 i-The Ghost of Flight 401 ngokungcolisa igama le-Eastern Airlines.
Ngenkathi i-Eastern Airlines iphika esidlangalaleni ukuthi ezinye zezindiza zazo bezihlaselwa, kubikwa ukuthi zisuse zonke izingxenye ezisindisiwe emikhunjini yazo engu-L-1011.

Izingcezu ze-Flight 401's wreckage zingatholakala nase-Ed naseLorraine Warren's Occult Museum eMonroe, Connecticut.
Yini Eyaphuma Ophenyweni?
Uphenyo lweNational Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) ngokuhamba kwesikhathi luthole ukuthi le ngozi yenzeke ngenxa yokukhanya kwesibani esishile. Igiya lokufika kungenzeka lehliswe ngesandla nokho. Abashayeli bezindiza bahamba ngebhayisikili okokufika, kepha bahluleka ukuthola ilambu yokuqinisekisa futhi bashayisa ngokungazelelwe.
Abaphenyi baphetha indawo ephansi yendiza ngokuthi, abasebenzi baphazanyiswa ilambu legiya lasekhaleni, futhi ngoba unjiniyela wendiza wayengekho esihlalweni sakhe lapho kuzwakala isexwayiso sendawo ephakeme, ngakho-ke babengeke bakwazi ukusizwa.
Ngokubuka, njengoba kwakusebusuku futhi indiza indiza endaweni emnyama yase-Everglades, azikho izibani zomhlaba noma ezinye izimpawu ezibonisa ukuthi i-TriStar yehla kancane. Ishayeke phansi kungakapheli nemizuzu engu-4. Ngakho-ke, ukuphahlazeka kungenxa yephutha lomshayeli. Kuthiwa yingakho iLoft neRepo behaunted iFlight 401 - ukugcina izindiza ezizayo zivikelekile emaphutheni abantu.
