Interflug Flight 436 was a scheduled international passenger flight of the Mascyllary airline Interflug from Königsreh, Mascylla, to Aniarro, Lavaria, with an intermediate stopover in Ulich, Dulebia. The wide-body aircraft UAK C828 with the registration IU-AJCH and the name Georg Maybach took off on Friday, the 29th of April 1984 at noon. Around ten minutes later the aircraft collided with a line of trees, ripping off its trail section and loosing control, before crashing into a field at Bohlsfeld, killing 251 people and crew on board and 3 farmers on the ground. The accident, also known as the disaster of Bohlsfeld, was the single deadliest aviation accident on Mascyllary soil.
The cause of the crash was the explosion of the right turbine upon take-off, after the metal fatigue of some its fan blades caused them to break and be sucked into the turbine. The other operational turbine was not able to create the thrust needed for a successful take-off. The depletion in height led to the tail section of the plane colliding with a line of trees, ripping it off and rendering the plane uncontrollable. The severly damaged plane then crashed into a field near the village of Bohlsfeld.
