Adele was the victim of the PLO terrorist bombing of Swissair Flight 330. On the afternoon of February 21, 1970, a bomb detonated in the cargo hold of the plane, nine minutes after its takeoff from Zurich Airport. The flight was headed to Kowloon, Hong Kong, with a planned stop-over in Tel Aviv, Israel. It would never reach its destination. The pilots lost control of the aircraft after all electrical power was lost; it crashed into a wooded area in Würenlingen. All 47 people aboard lost their lives.
