Incidents and accidents

On 6 August 2005, a Tuninter ATR-72 crash-landed in the sea 18 miles off the Sicilian coast while on a charter flight from the Italian town of Bari to Djerba in Tunisia. The aircraft was carrying 39 passengers and crew, 14 of whom died. Officials at Bari airport reported that most of the passengers were young Italian tourists. The fuel indicator was reading incorrectly because it was designed to be fitted only in a smaller plane: the ATR42. Therefore, the crew did not detect that the aircraft was running low on fuel. The turboprop suffered fuel exhaustion and the ATR72 ditched off the Sicilian coast.

The last 5 minutes of audio from the black box on the plane can be heard at http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7911667eca
