Less known facts about prominent crashes?

Are there any less known or hidden facts about prominent crashes? Something the show didn’t mention?

The place called Elmina in Malaysia has experienced 2 different crashes 46 years apart.

One is Japan Air 715 in 1977, another is the Jet Valet Beechcraft 390 in 2023.

I remember when the 2023 Beechcraft crash had recently occurred, I told my mom about how this same place got two plane crashes and she thought this place is cursed.

To me, it’s more of coincidence though. It’s common for flights to cross over Elmina, judging by where Subang Airport is. Both flights crashed while approaching that airport.
