H Azmal 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2006 34 years ago yesterday.... On 26 January 1972, a JAT DC-9 en route from Copenhagen to Zagreb and Belgrade exploded 33,000 feet over Srbska-Kamenice in Czechoslovakia. Ustashe, otherwise known as the Croatian National Movement, later admitted their responsibility for the bombing that should have killed all 29 passengers and crew. Miraculously, however, there was a survivor. The body of flight attendant, Vesna Vulovic, was recovered from the wreckage. http://www.avsec.com/asi/editorial/vesna.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
