In September 1989 an aircraft carrying 55 people crashed into the sea north of Denmark. There was no warning of the crash. The medico-legal investigation of the accident concentrated on finding clues to the cause of the accident, and identifying the victims, all of whom perished. These were found in two groups--31 were immediately recovered from the surface of the sea and 19 were collected from the sea or shore during the following months. The injuries in the two groups differed, indicating that the aircraft broke up in mid-air. One group probably fell into the sea after a free fall, while the other probably remained in the wreckage until hitting the surface. The victims' injuries showed no evidence of fire or explosion. The technical investigators concluded that the aircraft broke up due to a structural failure in the tail.
1989年9月，一架载有55人的飞机坠入丹麦北部海域。此次坠机没有任何预警。对该事故的法医学调查集中在寻找事故原因的线索以及辨认遇难者身份，所有遇难者均已身亡。遇难者遗体分为两组——31具遗体立即从海面打捞上来，另外19具遗体是在随后几个月从海里或海岸收集到的。两组遗体的伤势不同，这表明飞机是在半空中解体的。一组遇难者可能是自由落体后坠入海中，而另一组可能一直留在残骸中，直到残骸撞击海面。遇难者的伤势没有显示出火灾或爆炸的迹象。技术调查人员得出结论，飞机是由于尾部结构故障而解体的。
