11 Oct 1999 evening	Chris Phatswe, a grounded Air Botswana Captain, boards an otherwise empty ATR42 turboprop aircraft, takes off and asks to speak to the president. As the president is not in Botswana the vice president speaks to him. All attempts to convince him to land fail and after an hour in the air he crashlands into Air Botswana's other 2 parked ATR42s (Phatswe died in the crash), destroying 3 of Air Botswana's 4 planes (their fourth plane was grounded with technical difficulties at the time).
