Ticaret Hanı, Ulus

Editor's Note

It is a five-storey commercial building constructed of andesite stone. On 1 February 1963, a Middle East Airlines passenger plane that had taken off from Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, on its Ankara service collided in mid-air with a Turkish Air Association cargo plane that had taken off from Etimesgut, and fragments of the aircraft fell onto and around the Ticaret Han in Ulus. Between 87 and 120 people lost their lives in the disaster, which became known as the Ulus Catastrophe. There were no survivors among the passengers or crew.
