The record
On July 6, 2013, Asiana Airlines Flight 214, a Boeing 777-200ER, crashed into the seawall before Runway 28L at San Francisco International Airport after approaching too slowly, causing the tail and left engine to separate and the fuselage to catch fire.

Coincidence, not causation: the date is real and ephemeris-based, but a retrograde window is observed, never blamed. For entertainment, not navigation.
