If you will recall, Germany at the
> time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany.
Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines fail. The pilot,
realizing
that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash
landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he has time
and
the plane crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East
