- Date: May 30, 1984
- Aircraft: Lockheed L-188 Electra
- Location: Chalkhill, Pennsylvania, United States
- Fatalities: 4
- Phase of flight: En route
- Cause: The aircraft entered an unusual attitude and the crew could not analyze the condition before complete loss of control. An undetermined failure in the No. 2 vertical gyro system probably contributed, and the in-flight structural failure was attributed to overload (NTSB AAR-85/04).
Zantop International Airlines Flight 931, a Lockheed L-188 Electra (N5523), was on a cargo flight from Baltimore Washington to Willow Run, Michigan, when it entered an unusual attitude and broke up in flight near Chalkhill, Pennsylvania, on 30 May 1984. All four people on board were killed. Falling wreckage damaged some houses but most fell in uninhabited wooded areas.
