The Erebus Disaster

 What do I think I know about the disaster?

The Erebus is a plane disaster.

I believe it went of course and was also to low and hit something, I think it was a mountain.

I don't think anyone lived.

What do I think I will learn?

Because I think everyone died, how many where on the plane.

Where was the plane going.

What happened to cause this.


1. The plane was on a sightseeing trip around Antarctica, flying over several islands. Then they were to land in Christchurch. 


2. The captian was Jim Collins and Co-pilot first officer Greg Cassin.

3. The captain desend to 450 metres so his passengers could better see the surroundings.

4. The plane crashed into Mt Erebus, this was because they were 43 kilometres east of where thye were expected to be.

5. The plane crashed at 12:49 pm
