Slovenia remembers today the worst plane crash in its history. In the morning of 1 December 1981, a plane of the former Slovenian flag carrier Inex-Adria crashed on Corsica’s Mont San-Pietro, killing all 180 passengers and crew members on board.

It was world’s worst air accident that year. To honour the victims, President Borut Pahor laid a wreath at the grave site at Ljubljana’s Žale cemetery.
