"This hill has some nice views but it would otherwise be unsignificant if it wasn't for its sad recent history. There really is the wreckage of a whole DC9 passenger plane up there, that crashed on its northern (or southern?) slope in 1979 breaking the lives of 31 people. How it really happened is somewhat unclear to me as the million debris you could find laying around seem to be on the opposite side of where they should be (the whole tail lies at least 75m below the summit on the southern slope while the documentation available online says it did impact on the northern one). However this hike was not executed out of morbid curiosity, but to leave a flower and a prayer there, as the story of that tragic flight has always deeply struck me. Now I somewhat regret having been there. As I set my eyes on the wreckage just lying there on the undergrowth all I could feel was grief and sorrow, and a bleak sense of being trodding a sacred ground, where so many people lost their lives in an instant. There are no words to explain how I felt to witness the force of the impact, visibile on how horribly bent and twisted were those huge chunks of metal, the unrecognizable state of the engine..." — nicadsardinia • Sep 28, 2022
