Icon aircraft in the desert

Familiar threw coordinates on guglmapah. I thought, just nonsense, but, having approached, surprised to see the icon of the aircraft.

In short, I did some investigating and ran into a beautiful story.

UTA Flight 772 was a regular from Brazzaville (Congo) to Paris (Charles De Gaulle)

Six Libyans were executed for the attack. To destroy aircraft, they used a bomb in a suitcase, which killed 155 passengers and 15 crew members.
In the face of tragedy, the family created this beautiful monument, that was never forgotten the incident. The dead live from the heart, in the desert, and even guglmapah.



This flight track.



Eighteen years later, families of the victims gathered at the crash site, to build a memorial.



Because of the remoteness of the site of the accident aircraft was still lying on the ground
