On 6 February 1996, Birgenair Flight 301, a Boeing 757-200, is scheduled to fly from Puerto Plata to Frankfurt. On takeoff, the captain finds that his airspeed indicator (ASI) is not reading properly, though the co-pilot's ASI is showing the correct speed; the aircraft subsequently crashes in the Atlantic Ocean. All 13 crew members and 176 passengers died.
