Scandinavian Airlines System Flight 933 was a controlled flight into terrain into Santa Monica Bay at 19:21 on January 13, 1969, approximately 6 nautical miles (11 km) west of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in California, United States. The crash of the McDonnell Douglas DC-8-62, with Norwegian registration LN-MOO and named Sverre Viking, was caused by pilot error during approach to runway 07R. The pilots were so occupied with the nose gear light not turning green that they lost their situation awareness and failed to keep track of their altitude. The Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) aircraft had a crew of nine and thirty-six passengers; thirty people survived while fifteen perished.
