Avianca Flight 410 was a flight that crashed on March 17 1988, at Santander, Colombia. It was a Boeing 727, with the registration #HK-1716. That airplane had flown previously with Pan Am, as #N321PA. All 143 people on board died in the accident.
The crash's investigation pointed towards a non-crew member who distracted the members of the crew. It was widely speculated at the time, however, that Colombia's alleged drug kingpin, Pablo Escobar, may have been involved in the tragedy. Some of the speculations about this theory involved Escobar agents detonating a bomb aboard the jet-liner.
