Aer Lingus flight 328 crashed in the Birmingham Metropolitan Area on 31 January 1986. There were no fatalities or injuries and the probable cause was ice hitting the fuselage.
Accident sequence
The aircraft departed from Dublin Airport, and when it ascended, the temperature rose, and they heard ice hitting the side fuselage. But then, swaying occurred, and the aircraft crashed on 2 wires, 2 wooden poles, and landed on a barley field.
Investigation
The probable cause was ice; the ice hit the fuselage with enough force to push it side-to-side, and this reason was also accepted by the AIB (An Agency from the UK).
