British European Airways Flight 548, a Hawker Siddeley Trident 1C was a flight between London Heathrow and Brussels on June 18, 1972 with 118 people on board.
The Crash:
The crew boarded the flight at 3:20pm to prepare for a departure at 3:45pm. Due to some holdbacks though, the aircraft did not depart until 4pm. After 8 minutes of taxiing, the flight was given take-off clearance. Shortly after take-off, the flaps were retracted and then suddenly, the aircraft had received stall warnings. The stick shaker and alarm sounds were activated. The pilots levelled the wings but kept pushing the nose up, endangering the stall. After many warnings, the pilots recovered from the stall but another one happened again and was much more violent than the others. The plane's speed had reached the minimum and descended quickly before violently impacting the ground killing all 118 passengers on board.
