Thankfully, the aircraft had not been full capacity, but the disaster was still one of the most deadly in recent Fortisian history. The black box of the craft was never found, and no hull remains have ever been discovered. The only remains of the craft include parts of the Tail, including the Craft's Tail Number, which washed up on [[Fish Island]] a year later. Several Inquiries were made into the safety of the Pondskipper class, but no structural issues were ever found with other existing aircraft, which have remained operational without major incident since the fatal loss. The company took a dire hit to passengers and stocks for almost four years as a result. The company incurred such a loss that multiple deals for new terminals worldwide were cancelled as public perception in the then fledgling airline dropped significantly. Flight Number 417 was retired as a result and the route number replaced with HKB-500. |
