On August 4, 1971, at 2123 Pacific daylight time, Continental Air Lines, Inc., Flight 712 (CO 712), a Boeing 707-320C, N47330, on a regularly scheduled flight from Hilo, Hawaii, to the Los Angeles International Airport, Los Angeles, California, and a Cessna 150J, N61011, collided in midair. The collision occurred over Compton, California, approximately 9 miles east-southeast of the Los Angeles International Airport. There were 87 passengers, a flightcrew of three, and six cabin attendants aboard the Boeing. There were no injuries. Two persons were on board the Cessna, a pilot-instructor and a studen pilot. The instructor received serious injuries and the student received minor injuries. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the minimum opportunity for the flightcrews to see and avoid the other aircraft due to the background lights behind the Cessna and the decrease in the Cessna pilots' visual field resulting from the aircraft's wing while turning.
