One of the saddest events in the football history took place outside the cathedral. In 1949, flight G.212 crashed in the southern side of the building at 5:03 PM , because of the fog and a fault linked to flying devices. Unluckily , there weren't any survivors , but after what happened , every 4th of May the Torino football team fans meet up here to commemorate the accident by bringing gifts that they leave on an altar built where the plane crashed.
