Trinity Bay, USA
Aircraft Accident, 2019
Trinity Bay, USA
On its way on the 23rd of February 2019 from Miami to Houston, the Boeing 767-300 entered suddenly a rapid descent from 6,200 feet and impacted into a marshy bay area around 40 miles away from Houston’s George Bush Int. Airport.
Two surveillance cameras recorded the last five seconds of the descend before the ground impact occurred. The iwi® methodology was applied to validate the latest capabilities to reconstruct flight path, aircraft attitude and groundspeed based on video information.
The iwi® results were provided to the NTSB before the blackbox could be recovered. In December 2019 the NTSB published the facts of the accident and the iwi® result compared to the FDR data showed a good match for flight path, attitude and groundspeed.
