The song tells about a tragic coincidence with a real plane of the Scandinavian Airlines 911 (the song is called "Scandinavian 101"). Suddenly, the aircraft ran out of fuel and the board was not connected to the ground. At that time, electricity was cut off in New York (November 9, 1965). The crew was forced to make an emergency landing at John F. Kennedy Airport in complete darkness. [2] [3]
