The aircraft, a Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, crashed into the Everglades in Florida, resulting in the deaths of 101 people. Survivors and investigators later claimed to have encountered the spirits of the deceased crew members. After the crash, several Eastern Air Lines employees reported sightings of the ghostly figures of the flight's crew on other planes. These apparitions were often described as helping pilots with technical issues or appearing in the cabin. The stories contributed to a legend surrounding the flight and its tragic fate.
