1989 bus accident and helicopter crash in Albania
The Tragedy of Llogara refers to a bus accident and helicopter crash near Himare, Albania. On 22 November 1989, a bus carrying students from the Agricultural University of Tirana fell from a ravine and crashed along the mountainous road between Himara and Vuno in Albania. As a result, Albanian authorities sent two helicopters to carry casualties back to Tirana. However, the weather conditions were deteriorating with heavy fog in the area. Despite such a setback, pilots decided to fly back to Tirana carrying the casualties, only to crash their helicopters on a mountain side near Vuno and Llogora respectively killing all people aboard.
