The 1986 Cerritos mid-air collision was a plane crash that occurred over the Los Angeles suburb of Cerritos, California, on August 31, 1986. It occurred when Aeroméxico Flight 498, a McDonnell-Douglas DC-9, was clipped by N4891F, a Piper PA-28-181 Archer owned by the Kramer family, while descending into Los Angeles International Airport, killing all 67 people on both aircraft and an additional 15 people on the ground. In addition, eight people on the ground sustained minor injuries from the crash. Blame was allocated equally between the Federal Aviation Administration and the captain of the Piper. The DC-9 was not found to be at fault. #1986 #Aeromexico #Aeromexico_dc_9 #Cerritos #Cerritos_accident #Dc930 #flight_498 #Los_Angeles #Maberick_Rocha #Mayday_catastrofes_aereas
