ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Widerøe Flight 710

Okay, little buddy, let me explain what happened with Widerøe flight 710.

Widerøe is a company that operates airplanes, kind of like a big bus but up in the sky. They had a flight called 710 and it was flying from a place called Bodø to a place called Værøy in Norway.

Now, something called bad weather was happening that day, which means that the weather was not good for flying. It was very cloudy and foggy, which made it hard for the pilot to see where he was going.

The pilot tried to land the airplane, but because of the bad weather, he wasn't able to see the runway properly. This caused the airplane to crash into a mountain.

Sadly, a lot of people were hurt in the crash, and some people even died. It was a really sad day for the people on that airplane and their families.

In the end, investigators looked into what happened and learned a lot of things that can help make airplanes safer in the future. They learned about things like the importance of having good communication between the pilot and air traffic controllers, and also about the dangers of trying to land in bad weather.

So, that's what happened with Widerøe flight 710. It was a really tragic event, but it taught us a lot of important things.
