SAS Flight 751 Memorial

Scandinavian Airlines Flight 751 was a regularly scheduled Scandinavian Airlines passenger flight from Stockholm, Sweden, to Warsaw, Poland, via Copenhagen, Denmark. On 27 December 1991, a ######### ####### MD-81 operating the flight, registration OY-KHO, piloted by Danish captain ###### ## ######### (44) and Swedish first officer Ulf Cedermark (34), both experienced pilots with 8000 and 3000 flight hours respectively under their belts, was forced to make an emergency landing in a field near Gottröra, Sweden. Ice had collected on the wings' inner roots (close to the fuselage) before takeoff and broke off and was ingested into the engines as the aircraft became airborne on takeoff, ultimately resulting in both engines failing. All 129 passengers and crew aboard survived.
