Mexican airplanes...

Wasn't there a fatal air traffic accident a few years ago on the east coast that was caused by a Mexican pilot not understanding enough English?

Wasn’t there a fatal air traffic accident a few years ago on the east coast that was caused by a Mexican pilot not understanding enough English?

Possibly you’re thinking of the New York crash of an Avianca (Colombian) 707 in 1990, largely caused by the pilot’s faulty communication of the fuel situation’s urgency.
