On November 24, 2001, Crossair Flight 3597 tragically collided with a hillside while nearing its landing at Zurich, resulting in the deaths of 24 out of the 33 individuals aboard. The disaster was attributed to the pilot's decision to descend the plane below the designated minimum safe altitude during the final approach.
