2 different sources list it as happening on the 12th of December 1985, so you posted it on the correct day 🙂👍:

On December 12, 1985, Arrow Air Flight 1285, a chartered Douglas DC-8 aircraft, crashed shortly after takeoff from Gander International Airport in Newfoundland, Canada. The flight was carrying 248 members of the 101st Airborne Division, returning home from a six-month peacekeeping mission in Sinai, Egypt, to Fort Campbell, Kentucky.

Thanks for the sharing that event, that I suspect most not involved had forgotten or not heard about it before. Just curious though as to why you blame Carter, when Reagan was the president at that time.
