Came across this and thought I would share it as I thought it was pretty amazing. Here's a bit of information on the crash:
On Tuesday, 19 September 1989 the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 aircraft registered N54629 took off from N'Djamena International Airport at 13:13. 46 minutes later, at its cruising altitude of 10,700 metres (35,100 ft), a bomb explosion caused UTA Flight 772 to break up over the Sahara Desert near the towns of Bilma and Ténéré in Niger. All 155 passengers and 15 crew members died.[1]
Now read the following article in regards of the memorial the families did for it which can be seen on Google Maps/Earth etc

It's pretty old but still interesting. What do you think of it?
