How was Dag Hammarskjöld killed?

My name is Björn Virving, son of Bo Virving, who was the Technical Manager of the air company Transair, who owned the aircraft that was going to fly the Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld from Leopoldville in Congo to Ndola in Northern Rhodesia. At landing the aircraft crashed and the Secretary-General was killed, together with fifteen other persons. My father participated in the investigation of the crasch. He got a lot of interesting documentation in this case, of which some were classified until reasently. When he passed away in 1982 I inherited these documents.

The translation of parts of my book TERMITSTACKEN to The TERMITE HEAP, is made by my self, so the english is perhaps not perfect, as that language is not my mother language.

During the twenty years that passed between the crash and my fathers death 1982, he spent a lot of time on this event. He was already from the beginning convinced that the crash was not caused by a technical problem with the aircraft, nor by pilot error. I my self have again and again read through several hundreds of pages in a lot of reports written by different authorities and persons. Some of the documents were, as late as until 1993, classified. Today all the material is public, but we are surely just a few persons in the world, that have them available in our home. After all reading I have created myself a picture of how the crash may have happened and I have also chosen to write it down in my book TERMITSTACKEN,

This possible scenario embrace the immediate time before the crash, the crash it self and the days and nights afterwards.

The persons in my story that are named by name has lived or are still alive. Almost everything in my description is built on fact from crash inquiries and witness statements. Only a few pieces in the story are built on circumstantial evidences and theories developed by my self. There are anyhow evidences that point out that these pieces are not really totally unlikely. It is the missing of these pieces that have made that the real truth never has been revealed and may never be revealed.

At the time of the crash Northern Rhodesia was still an English colony and the attitude to the native african population was highly colonial, something that must be regarded when reading my story. In general colored people were regarded as less reliable or trustworthy and their status was very low. Lot of the colored people were afraid for, or felt insecure in the contact with the white part of the population, who for them mainly represented the authorities. That the situation was like that was also confirmed of what my father told when he came home from Ndola in the autumn in 1961. He was indignant that they in several cases did not pay any attention to witness statements given by colored persons.

The only thing now that is missing is a document or taperecording of a radio conversation between Hammarskjölds aircraft and an alien aircraft to prove or overthrow my theory. Perhaps the missing piece can be found in the UN investigation.
