Pacific Western Airlines Flight 314

What Happened------

On 11 February 1978, Pacific Western Airlines Flight 314, a Boeing 737-200 crashed at Cranbrook/Canadian Rockies International Airport, near Cranbook, British Columbia, Canada, killing 42 of the 49 people on board.[1]

This crash was 4 days after my brother was born, i happened in the middle of the night, a 737-200 heading from Edmonton to Cranbrook BC crashed into a snowplough on the runway because of a miscommunication on who was to clear the runway and who was to keep clearing the snow from the runway.

Both passengers and crew were killed instantly because of miscommunication.

What would I do?

If i were a pilot and or an ATC on the radio i would have instructed the plane to go around and the snowplough to get off the runway as soon as possible, and that would have saved lots of lives.


That's all i can say
