Silverio World Airlines Flight 81

Silverio World Airlines Flight 81 is considered to be one of the worst aircraft crashes in Silverio World history.

Background
The accident aircraft, registered SLA3769-820, was purchased on July 18, 1969 as a brand new aircraft for Silverio World Airlines. The aircraft was third in the fleet. Over the years, it changed hands many times between 1973 and 1985, from Air Silverio, Japan Airlines, American Airlines and finally back to Silverio World Airlines in 1986. In 1981, the plane suffered an engine malfunction that forced the plane to land in Seattle, Washington. Two years before the accident, in 1987, the landing gear failed to engage while the plane was landing at Doshnivo City International Airport in Doshnivo City. In order to fix this, Silverio World Airlines' inspection crew at that airport applied hydraulic fluid into the inner mechanism of the landing gear. It was an improper procedure that had to be done anyway because in 1987, Silverio World was going through an brief, but damaging, energy crisis. The crisis was the result of the war in Mulitikki, which had ended earlier that year. Tensions between Metroworld and Silverio World increased oil prices in both countries.

Accident
On March 21, 1989, Silverio World Airlines Flight 81 was flying its usual route between Tianin and Belladonna Cove. The pilots who flew that day were Captain C. Rosser DuMosi and First Officer Hanme G. Runnel. The flight enginner on the aircraft was Older D. Ross. All three men were experienced pilots with Rosser flying 33,250 hours, Runnel flying 18,400 hours and D. Ross flying 7,700 hours. For the Boeing 737, Rosser flew 11,760 hours while Runnel flew about 8,000 hours. Ho
