TELL US THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO THE ITAVIA DC9
Today all the media are talking about the accident of the DC9 Itavia in Ustica. The scheduled flight IH870 of the Itavia airline was involved, leaving from Bologna-Guglielmo Marconi airport and heading to Palermo-Punta Raisi airport. The departure was scheduled, as per the Itavia company timetable, for 6.15pm, but was postponed by almost two hours due to a storm over Bologna and the late arrival of the Douglas DC-9-15 aircraft with registration numbers I -TIGI.
The plane lost radio contact with the Rome area control center, responsible for air traffic control in that sector and located at Rome Ciampino airport, broke — as determined after lengthy analysis of radar data and the subsequent recovery of the wreckage from the seabed — into at least two large pieces and fell into the Tyrrhenian Sea. All 81 occupants of the aircraft, including passengers and crew, died in the accident. It is the fourth Italian air disaster in terms of number of victims, after those of Alitalia flight 4128, Alitalia flight 112 and Linate.
Several decades later, various aspects of the accident are still not fully clarified, starting from the dynamics itself.
Today there are also the “big words” of politicians: from the President of the Republic to the latest politician.
Everyone says: “we need to shed light on this”. How much hypocrisy: Mattarella knows it; the Presidents of the Senate and the Chamber know it, as does the Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Everyone knows the names and surnames of those who caused the accident. But everyone is silent”.
This is why today is not the day of remembrance, but of insult.
