1977Linjeflyg Flight 618 crashes in KĂ€lvesta near Stockholm Bromma Airport in Stockholm, Sweden, killing 22 people.[â ]
Linjeflyg Flight 618 was a crash of a Vickers 838 Viscount during approach to Stockholm Bromma Airport at 09:05 on 15 January 1977. All twenty-two people on board the aircraft perished when it hit ground at KÀlvesta in Stockholm, Sweden. The domestic service from Malmö via Kristianstad, VÀxjö and Jönköping was operated by Skyline on behalf of Linjeflyg as part of the latter's domestic scheduled services. The accident was caused by atmospheric icing on the horizontal stabilizer. Low power on two of the engines had caused reduced function of the ice protection system, causing a buildup of ice. The icing caused the loss of pitch control and the aircraft entered a steep dive. Among the deceased was table tennis player Hans Alsér.
In 1977, the world population was approximately 4,217,863,796 people[â ]
