Air France Flight 007, a charter flight carrying the elite of Atlanta, Georgia's arts community, crashed on
June 3, 1962
while attempting to depart Paris's Orly Airport. The 707 carried 122 passengers and 10 crew and only two survived. The crash was at the time the worst single-aircraft disaster, the first single civilian jet airliner disaster with more than 100 deaths, and the second deadliest aviation disaster in history.
