Texas International Airlines, Inc. (TXI), Douglas DC-9, N1308T, Flight 926, struck a tree and two power poles, 12,000 feet short of the runway threshold, during a predawn instrument approach to Harlingen Industrial Airpark, Harlingen, Texas, at 0700 c.s.t. on January 11, 1970. After the aircraft struck the tree and power poles, the flight-crew executed a 'missed approach' and proceeded to Intercontinental Airport, Houston, Texas, where a safe landing was made. The aircraft sustained substantial damage as a result of striking the tree and poles. Forty-one persons -- four crewmembers and 37 passengers -- were aboard the aircraft. There were no injuries. The Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the continuation of the descent, during actual instrument conditions, through the Minimum Descent Altitude and into ground obstructions as a result of inadequate flightcrew monitoring of the aircraft altimeters.
