Tuskar Rock

Ireland / Wexford /

island Add category

Several small islands with a lighthouse. In 1968, Aer Lingus Flight 712 crashed off Tuskar Rock. The cause of the crash was never fully determined, with numerous conspiracy theories (e.g. crash with military aircraft or accidental downing by experimental missile). In 2002, the Air Accident Investigation Unit found that the crash was most likely due to metal fatigue, corrosion, flutter or a bird strike.
