Garuda Indonesian Airways Flight 424 was a scheduled passenger flight on January 24, 1961, which crashed into Mount Burangrang, 15 km (9.3 mi) north of its destination.
The plane climbed to a cruising altitude of 3,500 feet to fly below the clouds.
The plane was then instructed to contact Husein tower at 10:45 am, but the latter didn't acknowledge.
A few minutes later, Flight 424 crashed into the western slope of Mount Burangrang at an altitude of 5,400 feet at approximately 10:48 am.
The probable cause of the accident was the attempt by the pilot to fly over mountainous terrain when unsure of his position and in weather conditions which severely restricted visibility.
