March 3, 1974. In one of the most notorious and gruesome crashes ever, a THY (Turkish Airlines) DC-10 crashes near Orlyairport killing all 346 passengers and crew.
Air France said most of its flights were operating normally from Charles DE Gaulle Airport, while about one-third of its flights from OrlyAirport had been canceled.
The strike is the sixth job action of its kind in recent weeks, forcing the cancelation of half of the flights at Paris' Orlyairport and about one-third of flights at Charles DE Gaulle airport.
