 Swissair Flight 111 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Swissair Flight 111 (SR-111) was a Swissair McDonnell Douglas MD-11 on a scheduled airline flight from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, United States to Cointrin International Airport in Geneva, Switzerland.
The flight crew announced a "pan-pan" and requested a diversion to Boston's Logan International Airport, but was instead directed to the closer Halifax International Airport in Enfield, Nova Scotia, 56 nautical miles (104 km) away.
At 9:24 PM, the crew declared an emergency while circling away from the airport to lose altitude and dump fuel — contact with the aircraft was lost one minute later and it struck the ocean at 9:31 PM, according to readings from seismographic recorders in Halifax and Nova Scotia.
