It’s one of the most heartbreaking; devastating stories in the history of aviation safety. These were just some of the images taken by investigators in the aftermath, the inside, hollowed, burnt out shell of the aircraft. These images tell of the horror that befell this plane. Saudia Flight 163 is one of the worst air disasters ever recorded. It’s a tale of Fire Safety, Miscommunication, Mismanagement, and a baffling chain of events that led to complete disaster. What we aim to do today is provide a comprehensive breakdown of what happened, gaining a deeper understanding of one of aviation’s darkest days.
