Air France Flight 1611 was a Sud Aviation SE-210 Caravelle III en route from the island of Corsica to Nice, France on 11 September 1968 when it crashed into the Mediterranean Sea off Nice, killing all 95 on board. According to the official report, the crash was non-survivable.〔(Rapport Finale sur l'accident survenu le 11 septembre 1968 au large du cap d'Antibes au SE 210 F-BOHB, (PDF) ) BEA, 14 December 1972. From the (BEA website ). Retrieved 11 September 2011.〕 The crash, to date, retains the highest death toll of any aviation incident in the Mediterranean Sea. Among the dead was French general René Cogny. The probable cause was attributed to a fire which originated in the rear of the cabin. A radio programme broadcast by BBC Radio 4 on 26 November 2007 advanced the theory that the accident was the result of a missile strike or bomb, and that the true cause has been suppressed by the French Government under secrecy laws. On 10 May 2011 Michel Laty, a former army typist, alleged on French television channel TF1 that he saw a report indicating a missile, misfired by the French army during a weapon test, in fact caused the crash. ==See also== * Iran Air Flight 655 * Korean Air Lines Flight 007 * Aerolinee Itavia Flight 870 – a plane that was possibly shot down over the Mediterranean Sea 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Air France Flight 1611」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
