On the 31st of july 1973, a delta airlines DC9 was flying from burlington vermont to boston, but the plane had to make an unscheduled stop at manchester new hampshire because flight 723 had to pick up people from an earlier flight that had been canceled. So the flight departed manchester airports gate at 9:57 am with 83 passengers and 5 crew members onboard. But the plane couldnt just get off the ground yet as the weather at Boston was not the best and so they had to wait as the weather at boston got better. Finally at 10:50 am the plane took off with the first officer in charge with the captain in charge of the communications. After taking off the plane was on the way down to boston and the pilots were in contact with the approach control at boston, the approach controller said “'No delays, plan vectors ILS 31 four r i g h t , the Boston altimeter is three zero one one. Weather is partial obscuration, estimated four hundred overcast, mile and a half and fog." not the worst but also not the best i cant help but wonder if the pilots had been hoping for some better weather on their way down into boston. As flight 723 acknowledged the plane climbed to its assigned altitude of 4000 feet ad the pilots in the cockpit went through the after takeoff checklists. As soon as they were done with the after takeoff checklists it was time for them to start their descent talk about a short flight eh, the controller now let the flight descend to 3000 feet and gavve them a new heading to fly. Then at 11:04 the controller asked flight 723 to do the following “ Delta 723 fly a heading of 0 8 0 now intercept the localizer course and fly it inbound over”. The controller was asking the pilots to intercept this radio beam that is sent out from the foot of the runway. The localizer beam allows the onboard computers on the plane to calculate where it is in relation to the runway laterally, in reduced visual conditions like these a localizer is a gamechanger and can quite literally save lives. In the cockpit signs pointed to the fact that they had successfully intercepted the localizer, the captain said “localizer is alive” and the first officer responded with “go down to 2000 now cant we?” the captain answered with “he didnt say go down”, the captain decided to check with the controller to see if everything was ready for them to perform the ILS landing, the captain asks “is 723 cleared for the ILS?” the controller let the captain know that they indeed were ready to go down. And they took the DC 9 into the mushy weather below them. As the jet passed the outer marker the first officer called for the before landing checklist. As they ticked off items on that list the plane dropped through the thick clouds surrounding boston. But in the cockpit it seemed like the things were starting to unravel, the pilots seemed to have a problem with one of the instruments in their cockpit. Someone in the cockpit said “okay just fly the airplane” and the other person replied with “ you better go to raw data, i don't trust that thing”, in the midst of all of this the captain radioed to the controller in boston that flight 723 was on final and the controller issued the final clearance by saying “cleared to land 4R traffics clearing at the end, the rvr shows more than 6000 a fog bank in moving in its pretty heavy across the approach end” the pilots acknowledged their landing clearance, unknown to the controller this was the last time that he would hear from flight 723. In the cockpit the crew had their hands full with whatever was going wrong in their cockpit. The captain was like “lets just get back on course” and the first officer said “i just gotta get this back”, In the cockpit the captain said something which was then immediately followed up by a shout, presumably because a sea wall might have appeared in the windows right in front of them, but it was too late for the pilots to do anything the dc 9 crashed into a sea wall that was 165 feet to the right of the extended center line of runway 4R about 3000 feet short of the runways displaced threshold. Initially two people survived the crash but their injuries were too severe, meaning that in the end.
