Aviation accident in Germany
On 8 November 1940, a Deutsche Lufthansa Junkers Ju 90 passenger aircraft crashed near the municipality of Schönteichen, Germany, killing all 29 people on board. An investigation of the crash concluded that the accident was caused by ice accumulation on the flight surfaces, which led to an uncontrolled loss of altitude.
