Skopelos Mid Air Collision

Skopelos Mid Air Collision was a fatal accident on Skopelos, involving a Korean Air Boeing 777 and an Air France Boeing 747. This fatal accident was caused by a collision.

Cyprus Air 809 (C809)
Cyprus Air Flight 809 was a flight from Perth to Larnaca, Cyprus. 310 Robloxians were on board the aircraft, which was a one year old Boeing 777-300. It was the first Boeing 777 used by Cyprus Air.

Air Izolirani 1388 (I1388)
Air Izolirani Flight 1388 was a flight from Greater Rockford to Izolirani. The aircraft was a five years old Boeing 747-400.

Accident
Both planes were heading to Skopelos, a small island that created a company named Sky Skopelos, an Air Traffic Control company. The planes were flying towards each other at the same altitude. ATC told A1388 to descend to 36.000 feet. At the same time, air traffic controllers saw United Airlines Flight 214 (UAL214) and Cyprus Air Flight 1809 (C1809). Air traffic controllers thought it could be possible that the two airplanes collide. One controller said 'C1809 descend to 36.000'. However, C809 was not able to descend. Then ATC said 'UAL214, climb to flight lever 380.'. UAL214 climbed to 38.000. The air traffic control center was reporting occasional connection problems. Controller tried to connect to KAL1809 later. After a few minutes later, KAL 809 connected to ATC. However, the ATC confused KAL 809 with KAL 1809 and KAL 809 was not aware of this mishap. Controller said 'KAL 809, descend to flight level 360. UAL 214 is heading to you.' and KAL 809 descended to 36.000 feet. After descending both aircraft's (AFR 1388 and KAL 809) TCAS begins to operate. ATC said 'KAL 809 climb to 37.000.'. Air Izolirani 1388 connected to ATC too. However, ATC confused I1388 and C809 and said: I809. The ATC started to panic. Controller said to Air Izolirani 'I1388 descend to 35.000.'. At the same time, C809 is connected. TCAS said climb to I1388. However, I1388 starts to descend. C809's TCAS begins to say descend and C809 starts to descend. Both aircraft are heading towards each other. With no further instructions given by the ATC, the two planes collided, causing C809 to lose its vertical stabilizer and fall to the ocean while I1388's back of the plane was missing and the plane eventually fell to ocean. C809's pilots realized they lost their hydraulics without realizing it. The pilots did their best to prevent the crash, but the crash was inevitable as the aircraft become uncontrollable. After three minutes, the plane crash lands into sea, where 637 Robloxians died.

TCAS begins to operate.

AFR 1388 Captain: Oh, damn.

KAL 809: Skopelos.

TCAS said 'Climb' to AFR 1388 but Air France started to descend.

AFR 1388 Captain: Oh, climb?

AFR 1388 First Officer: Should we climb?

ATC: KAL 809, can you hear me?

KAL 809 First Officer: Yes, we can. Uhh... We should contact with Perth.

ATC: Uhh.. Wait! Perth control is possible by changing the frequency to 189.66.

KAL 809 First Officer: Thank you.

KAL 809 Captain: We are going down! I can't pull up!

KAL 809 First Officer: Ah, sir, uhhhhh. We got hydraulic failure.

KAL 809 Captain: So the plane is uncontrollable?
