Connellan air disaster
The Connellan air disaster was a suicide attack at Alice Springs Airport, Northern Territory, Australia, on 5 January 1977. The attack was carried out by a disgruntled former employee of Connellan Airways (Connair), who flew a Beechcraft Baron (a twin-engine, piston-powered plane) into the Connair complex at the airport. The attack killed the pilot and four other people and injured four more, two of them seriously. The disaster is one of only two aircraft suicide attacks in Australia's history, the other being in 1982 at Bankstown Airport.〔(VH-AEU. Douglas C-47-DL. c/n 6108 )〕
==Background==
The perpetrator, Colin Richard Forman, was 23 years old at the time of the attack.〔 He had migrated from the United Kingdom to Australia alone in the early 1970s, but had trouble adjusting and, in 1974, tried to forge a Qantas ticket back to England. The forged ticket was detected and Forman had a conviction recorded against him.〔
In November 1975, Forman obtained a commercial pilot's license, and he started flying for Connair in January 1976.〔 The ticket forgery soon came to light and Forman was dismissed after seven weeks. He then found another job at Ord Air Charter in Wyndham, but was soon fired from there as well. Forman apparently believed that Roger Connellan, his boss at Connair, had informed Ord Air about his forgery conviction.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pirep.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=8062&sid=7f791bd32b06ea6352fa0eae17a1e65e#8062 )〕
