Lufthansa Flight 540Lufthansa Flight 540, registered as D-ABYB, was a commercial Lufthansa Boeing 747-130, carrying 157 persons (140 passengers and 17 crew members), operating final segment of its routing Frankfurt–Nairobi–Johannesburg. On November 20, 1974 it crashed and caught fire short of the runway on take-off. As the plane was departing Runway 24 at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya, the pilots felt a buffeting vibration. The captain continued the ascent and retracted the landing gear. However, as this was being done, the plane started to descend and the stall warning system light came on. The plane continued to descend and approximately 3,700 feet from the end of the runway, the plane grazed bushes and grass. It then struck an elevated access road and broke up. The plane caught fire due to an explosion in the left wing and spreading to the fuselage. Of the 157 passengers aboard, 59 perished (55 passengers and 4 crew members). The cause of the crash was determined to have been the failure of the flight crew to extend the leading edge flaps which caused the 747 to take-off with a partially stalled condition. This was the first ever crash involving a Boeing 747. External links
