Beta Airlines Flight 14

Listen to this article!
Beta Airlines Flight 14 (BAF14) was a scheduled Beta Airlines domestic transcontinental flight from La Gran Guardia International Airport in Bloxburg City to Brookhaven Airport. On March 1, 2024, the Roing 747-100ER began to feel major turbulence, which resulted in the separation of one of the aircraft's wings, then followed by the plane breaking-up as it went down with the pilots trying to get the plane to fly further, before crashing directly into Happy Village, located in the Roblox Mountain, immediately killing all 261 passengers, including 36 additional fatalities on the ground and caused massive damage around the village. 
This incident is also mostly known as the Happy Village plane disaster. The event is the second-deadliest plane crash in the 2020s, after Robloxia Airlines Flight 263 in September of that same year, which suffered the same fate of this, while being having the most deaths on the surface as well, since November 2001 and still remained as the most-deadliest single-aircraft accident. In the aftermath, Happy Village was completely destroyed and marked as the first time that the village had to deal with a plane crash.
In the 11-month investigation from April 2024 to March 2025, following the crash, it was revealed that the turbulence was caused from high winds, due to a line of severe rainstorms moving across the country. Later on, they found out that the pilots were an another reason for the accident itself, as both were rapidly and dangerously moving the aircraft on all sides.
==Background==
===Aircraft===
The aircraft involved in the crash, Roing 747-100ER was owned by the company, Beta Airlines. First developed in the late-1980s and delivered in 1992 to Topia Airport, Beta Airlines Flight 14 had its first flight run across the country without stopping on January 11, 1993. The plane was powered by four engines; two on each side of the wings.
White most of the aircrafts, owned by Beta Airline are painted in blue to match their company, this plane was colored to be in red; it is unknown why they did it.
On March 1, the day of the crash, the aircraft was carrying 261 passengers and 15 crew members from La Gran Guardia International Airport to Brookhaven Airport.
===Pilots and crew members===
The two pilots, in control of the aircraft were Sophie. J (38 year old; female) and Jake. K. V (44 year old; male), who were born in 1980 and 1986, respectively.
Sophie. J first join the company around 2004 and was originally said to be the co-pilot of their aircraft, Beta Airlines Flight 14, but after some major tests on her, which she got perfect grades for his fast-paced action and amazing controlling, she was eventually switched to become the official pilot of the plane.
For Jake. K. V, he was introduced to Beta Airlines in 2003 (one year before Sophie). During the 2010s, they became friends after having numerous of flights in the country. At the time of the incident, Sophie was gonna to be married to a man in a few weeks, named Micheal. C. Kenndy, who recently turned 39-year old, just last month in 2024.

==Sequence of events==
===Takeoff and before crash===
On March 1, 2024, Beta Airlines Flight 14 slowly landed and arrived near Bloxburg City at La Gran Guardia International Airport at around 12:06 p.m. RST, after a six-hour flight from Dream Islands. It stayed on the ground for more than three whole hours as the members were ready for an another ride from La Gran to Brookhaven Airport, which was expected to take about eight hours to get there. Meanwhile, Sophie. J and Jake. K. V were on the very back of the aircraft, getting some rest before the flight.
At around 4:00 p.m. RST in the afternoon, boarding for Flight 14 began with all 261 passengers getting on the aircraft, while the members were on the way to get ready and prepare for the journey. At that point, the flight was scheduled to takeoff at 5:00 (one hour from now), but was eventually delayed up to 6:00 p.m. during the early-nighttime, which was pushed back even further to 6:40 p.m; due to a storm that was moving across the country itself. At 6:56 p.m. RST, Flight 14 was at last set to takeoff and ten minutes later, it lifted out into the air, before moving to the left at 500 feet from the ground completely.
Since it was around the nighttime, pilots had to be very focused on the air, while one of them were look at the direction they were heading in. At 7:21 p.m. RST, La Gran Guardia's air traffic controller pointed out to them that they were moving their way to a "line of severe gusts, up to around 40 MPH". Sophie. J, hearing this, responded back, telling that they understand and were gonna use extreme extra cation. By 7:30 p.m., the aircraft initially started to felt minor turbulence, which triggered one alarm/warning in the cockpit to go off, alerting them about possible major winds.
By 7:40 p.m., Sophie. J decided to tell air traffic controller on the solution with the flight as it was now getting more turbulence every passing minute. Due to the shaking, some of the passengers were reportedly said to be flying out of their seats, causing mass panic across the flight. Realizing this, Jake grab the wheel and forced it to the right, resulting in every object to go launching to the direction, hitting most of the people and injuring a 5-month old baby, who was on the hands of his mom.
Shortly after, Sophie started to yell at him, before calming herself down and saying to him that she can handle this problem by herself.
===7:42-7:56 p.m.: Turbulence and separation===
At around 7:42 p.m. RST, Beta Airlines Flight 14 started to crack from one of the wings, due to the strong winds and at the time, the pilots were on the verge of panicking and were trying to get control of the flight. Sophie then ordered Jake to grab the wheel, and pull it to the right, but in a slow way, in which he do so. Meanwhile, one of the windows broke into pieces and went launching out from the plane itself, resulting in the passenger who were near it to fly to the other direction and get slammed into the tail.
A minute later, oxygen masks were launched from the top of the plane, but since the aircraft was moving very quickly, passengers didn't hold on it that much from the shaking and instead had their bodies were not able to move, far enough to not get the masks. At 7:46 p.m., the wing finally broke up at 20,000 feet in the air and was send flying directly into the very back of the aircraft and impacted it with strong force; immediately, major parts of Flight 14 exploded, including the tail and the wings in between it and caused nearly all of the passengers on the flight to caught on fire or passed away.
For the pilots, they were knocked out as Sophie bumped her head directly into the back wall, damaging her brain and letting out mass blood all around his shirt and the seat as well, while Jack were send flying all across the cockpit and smash into the window, causing in it to crack which caused him to be sucked out by the extreme winds.
After being waken, Sophie grasped the wheel and with tears, try to pull it as hard as she can to lift the plane back up as the aircraft was going down, but while doing so, she started to pass out from the winds and by 7:50 p.m. RST, she was dead. Meanwhile, some of the people were getting sucked out from the plane completely and fell into the Roblox Mountain.
===7:57 p.m.: Crash===
At around 7:57 p.m., the aircraft, now heading down to the ground, directly crash at 500 MPH into Happy Village, creating a massive hole and resulted in mass damage to the village itself. The Explosion Generated Forces up to 1000 G, Completely Shattering the Aircraft and Crumbling all 261 on Board along with 36 on the ground.
