Loganair Flight 670A was a scheduled flight operating from Glasgow to Kirkenbunk. On Feb 27, 2001, while en route, the aircraft faced severe weather, including stormy conditions and high winds, which compromised its navigational systems.

As the aircraft descended, it became evident that the situation was dire, prompting an emergency evacuation of all passengers and crew on board. Fortunately, evacuation procedures were executed effectively, allowing everyone onboard to escape before the aircraft sank beneath the waves. Maritime rescue teams promptly responded, ensuring the safety of all involved.
