The Erebus Crash

 Predictions - 

What I think I know already?

- Plane Crash

- Everyone died

- Nov 29 1979

- Crashed into snow

What I think I'll find out

Why no one survived 

Why did it crash


1. The plane was heading Scott base, McMurdo Sound and Antarctica
2. Jim Collins and Greg Cassin
3. So that the passengers could have a better view
4. The pilot and co pilot weren't told about the course change, you couldn't tell the difference between land and sky
5. Nov 28th 1979 - 12:49 Pm

Videos
Flight 901
The flight was 10 - 12 hours
Captain Thomas James Collins
First Officer - Gregory Mark Cassin
15 Flight Attendants
Navigation didn't work as well in the 1970's   
 It was cloudy and snowy
45 mins stop for fuel in Christchurch
$359 per person
They go down 1,500 feet as they approach McMurdo
Mt Erebus 2nd highest volcano
The plane crashed and burned



We are learning about the Eberus Plane Crash,

I showed my learning by putting facts onto a DLO

I am wondering why the pilots didn't know the change in direction 

Looking back on my predictions I was correct about what it was and the date and time.
