Deadliest crash

The deadliest crash of this year was the 1976 Zagreb mid-air collision, when an Inex-Adria Aviopromet McDonnell Douglas DC-9 struck a British Airways Hawker Siddeley Trident near Vrbovec, SFR Yugoslavia, on 10 September, killing all 176 people on board both aircraft. At the time it was the deadliest mid-air collision in aviation history. The deadliest single-aircraft accident took place nine days later, when on 19 September Turkish Airlines Flight 452, a Boeing 727, crashed into mountainous terrain near Isparta, Turkey, killing all 154 people on board.
