The plane crash ended up taking the life of 10 passengers and 14 people on highway I-205, and nearly the rest were hospitalized. | The plane crash ended up taking the life of 10 passengers and 14 people on highway I-205, and nearly the rest were hospitalized. | ||
The wing separated from the fuselage and hit the ILS systems, causing a short circuit and a slightly mediocre electrical fire. | |||
It took around 2 weeks to clean up and fix the highway and airport. This caused mass traffic issues in the areas of Lannex and Rio Pueblo. This also caused SFO and LAX's air traffic to increase due to the reduced aircraft movements the airport can take per day. Additionally, the ILS systems were broken on approach to 27L, meaning if the prevailing winds were from the west, planes had to approach visually, land on 27R or divert to another airport. The system was fixed around a month later from the accident. | It took around 2 weeks to clean up and fix the highway and airport.
