How many plane crashes have occurred in the history of aviation. The biggest plane crashes in the world
All day I marvel at the hardening of our society. Some people have completely lost their shores and do not see the boundaries of what is permitted. They sincerely rejoice in someone else's death. I don't understand how you can rejoice in the death of a person?
The main argument: "You were the first to start and this is a boomerang for you. Get it!"
It seems to me that already It doesn't matter who started first. It matters who stops first.
How did our peoples go so far in hating each other? It is clear that propaganda is pouring from TV screens and monitors every day. Each side has its own and each sees the situation in its own way. But how could you be so zombified and lose touch with reality? How could peoples who lived in peace and friendship 10 years ago begin to hate each other so much?
Moreover, this hatred has already descended from the level of political officers to the level of ordinary citizens. The driver Nikolai Ivanych from Chelyabinsk really believes that Ukraine is to blame for the fact that they don’t clean the snow in his yard, and the doctor Ivan Nikolayevich from Lvov is sincerely sure that his pension is being delayed due to the intrigues of Russia.
We've gone too far in our hatred. We need to stop. Wake up. It doesn't matter who started it first and who is to blame. Of course, it is always easier to find an external enemy than to admit one's guilt.
Nobody wins from hate. She won't make anyone happy. Hate is a road to nowhere. Russia or Ukraine will not disappear from the map. We will always be next to each other and we need to learn to live next to each other. It is to learn, because we have complete amnesia and we have forgotten how to do it.

The history of air transportation has more than one hundred major disasters. Such accidents, although rare, are usually fatal. The most terrible plane crash to date has claimed the lives of almost six hundred people.
The most famous plane crashes
As you know, even a minor mistake made while operating an airliner can lead to its crash. It is the human factor that often causes most disasters. Today, large-capacity aircraft are rising into the sky, because of this, catastrophes are becoming more and more large-scale. Here are some of the more famous major plane crashes. 
Flight No. 123 Japan Airlines
Five hundred and twenty people were killed in the 1985 crash of a Boeing 747 belonging to Japan Airlines. He was supposed to fly from Tokyo to Osaka. After twelve minutes of flight, technical problems made themselves felt. 
After the Boeing's keel came off, the team continued to fly the plane for thirty-two minutes, trying to stabilize the state of the airliner. However, it got out of control and crashed into a mountain range. Four passengers are known to have survived.
Disaster over India (Charkhi Dadri)
Three hundred and forty-nine victims - this is the result of a mid-air collision between a Boeing 747-100V and an Il-76 aircraft. The accident occurred just sixty kilometers from Delhi. Il-76, owned by Kazakh Airlines, dropped from fifteen to fourteen thousand feet without obtaining permission. As a result, he rammed the stabilizer and the left wing of the Boeing. 
No one survived this terrible accident. The Boeing disintegrated while still in the air after the collision, the IL remained “undamaged”, but lost control.
Air crash in Ermenonville
In France, the largest plane crash that occurred in 1974 is considered to be the largest. This is Turkish Airlines Flight 981. The plane was supposed to fly from Istanbul to Paris, and then fly to London. After takeoff from the airport in Paris, there was a sharp decompression of the cabin.

They did not dare to approach the board. Twenty-three minutes later, the plane was already completely enveloped in fire. All those inside, and this is three hundred and one people, were burned or died from suffocation.
Flight IR655
In the summer of 1988 over the Persian Gulf in airspace An Iranian Airbus A300 was shot down. He flew from Tehran to Dubai. The USS Vincennes misidentified it and shot it down using surface-to-air missiles. 
America never pleaded guilty, and no apologies were made to the families of the two hundred and ninety victims. Nevertheless, the US authorities paid almost sixty-two million dollars in compensation.
Flight No. 191 American Airlines
In the history of American air travel, the largest in terms of the number of victims and the most famous is the disaster that occurred in 1979. The plane flew from Chicago to Los Angeles. After takeoff, one of the engines failed, which was the result of poor maintenance of the airliner. As a result, the engine broke off, damaging the wing - the airliner crashed near the runway.

The A321 crash became the most massive death of Russian citizens in the history of world aviation.
The most terrible plane crash to date The most terrible, unexpected and even ridiculous is the plane crash that occurred in 1977. She claimed the lives of nearly six hundred people.
At the airport in Tenerife in 1977, two large airliners collided during takeoff. We are talking about Boeing - 747, owned by the Dutch and American airlines. They ended up in Tenerife by accident. Airplanes were redirected there because of the terrorist attack that took place in Gran Canaria the day before.
The Boeings were moving along the taxiway towards each other and did not have time to avoid the collision. Five hundred and eighty-three people died in that crash. Only sixty-one passengers survived.
According to the site, the fastest planes in the world were taken out of service precisely because they often had an emergency.

Statistics is an impartial science. It does not belittle or embellish the details. She presents the picture as it is. Crash statistics in Russia are one big disappointment in domestic aviation. When you start looking at the causes of plane crashes, you often come across the phrase “pilot error” or “crew error”.
It's right. The human factor leads among the causes in Russia and the world. What are the biggest air crashes in Russia over the past 10 years? Unfortunately, there are many. And if in the United States the statistics of crashes is falling, then in Russia it is only growing. What are the main reasons for this?
So, leading by a clear margin - human factor. Insufficient and unqualified training of pilots in many ways lead to such sad results.
Airbus A330-300 of the Aeroflot company.
Many experts note that old Soviet models are still being used, which should have been written off long ago.
Another reason is the greed of airlines, saving on the quality of aircraft maintenance and the purchase of new parts and equipment.
As a result, equipment wears out, parts are not replaced, and the aircraft becomes unusable. But it is not removed from service. There are cases when the plane flew to the point of complete wear and tear, up to the catastrophe!
List of largest air crashes in Russia
Over the past few years, Russia has had quite a few very sad disasters. One of the most recent is the crash of a Tupolev Tu-154 en route to Syria, December 25, 2016. This is the biggest accident in 2016.
TU-154 from Utair.
The causes of the crash have not yet been clarified, due to the difficulty in deciphering the black boxes. It is only known that the plane crashed into the Black Sea, taking with it the lives of all passengers and crew.
March 19 of the same year a FlyDubai plane crashed on its way to Rostov-on-Don from the UAE. All people died. The causes of the disaster are still being investigated, but so far only intermediate results have been announced.
That night there were difficult weather conditions, because of which the plane made two landings. After the second time, it began to decline sharply and simply collapsed on GDP.
Biggest disaster in 2013 the fall of the Boeing 737, near Kazan. All passengers and crew were killed. The accident also occurred during the landing approach.
The reason is negligence and failure by the crew to fulfill their duties, as well as their insufficient readiness for flights.
Aircraft TU-134.
Another terrible catastrophe that occurred on the territory of Karelia, death of TU-134 when landing. The plane hit trees and crashed. One of the reasons is poor visibility in foggy conditions. 47 people died, but 5 managed to survive.
Plane crash near Yaroslavl Yak-42 led to the death of the entire Lokomotiv hockey team. In this disaster only 1 person survived. On takeoff, the plane crashed into a radio beacon and crashed on the river bank. The reason was also the unpreparedness of the crew.
Monday - April 2, 2012 turned out to be the last day for most of the passengers and crew of Utair Flight 120. Only 10 managed to survive this disaster. The accident occurred after takeoff itself, after 42 seconds.
The reason was the failure of the PIC from anti-icing treatment, which led to a deterioration in the aerodynamic capabilities of the aircraft. Plus, the crew could not notice the stalling of the aircraft in time.
Which Russian planes crash more often?
In the article on our website, you can see that already the second place in the ranking of the most dangerous aircraft world is occupied by IL-76, and the third - notorious - TU-154. TU-134 takes the sixth place.
Three models of Russian manufacturers were included in this list. It says something. However, for example, the same TU-154 was never decommissioned, as a result of which disasters continue to occur.
There is no doubt that the conquest of the sky by man is one of the most significant achievements of progress. But there is no success without defeats, hence the many air crashes that entail thousands of victims. What are the biggest plane crashes in the history of mankind?
USA, September 11, 2001
This terrible bloody catastrophe is the result of a terrorist act committed in New York; it became the most talked about event ever. 16 years ago, three planes controlled by terrorists purposefully crashed into two skyscrapers, causing them to collapse, and into the Pentagon building.
Nearly 3,000 people died in the horrific accident. different countries located in the World mall.
According to official statements, an ultra-radical organization called Al-Qaeda, consisting of Wahhabi Muslims, was responsible for the attack. The version was subsequently confirmed by the facts, but this did not convince everyone. Conducted great amount independent investigations, the results of which were filmed documentaries. For example, there is a theory that the Twin Towers acted only as a distraction, and it was not the Muslims who ordered the attack, but the American government.
16,000 people managed to escape from the skyscrapers, who subsequently gave interviews and shared their memories. Many of them wrote books and articles about the event.
There is a memorial at the site of the tragedy; Every day flowers are brought to him in memory of the terrible catastrophe.
In all disasters, there is some duality: it is often difficult to understand whether there are those responsible for this event, or whether everything happened due to circumstances beyond the control of a person. The tragedy in Tenerife was no exception. It seems to be just an incredible confluence of many different factors. Two Boeing 747s collided at Los Rodeos airport passenger liners that time. The dead are 583 people, including children.
Airplane passengers were looking forward to a holiday in the sun canary islands
It all started with a terrorist attack in a flower shop on neighboring island Gran Canaria, where one person died. And then - a whole chain of terrible events. Soon the police received a call from an anonymous person who reported about the explosive planted in the airport terminal. All passengers and staff were evacuated as quickly as possible, the scheduled airport flights were canceled and redirected to the airport of Tenerife. Among the diverted aircraft were two overcrowded charter flights from the US and the Netherlands.
In addition to the two giant Boeing 747s, there were other flights planning to land at this airport. The small main path was completely occupied. In addition, the weather deteriorated, and experienced pilots were in a hurry and were tired. The last straw is the mixed up radio messages, which is why the Dutch pilot decided that he had been given permission to take off. All this heaping of unpleasant moments led to the fact that in a dense fog at exactly 17 hours 6 minutes there was a terrifying collision of two giants, one of which opened the other like a tin can. No one had a chance to stay alive, all the passengers and crew of one aircraft were burned alive.
Plane crash saves 61 people
The most terrible plane crashes in the world most often occur due to technical problems or human error. In August 1985, an Airbus Boeing 747 suffered a terrible crash near Tokyo. He lost control and collided with mountain peak. 520 people died, and Japan could not recover from the shock for a long time. The press insistently demanded a thorough investigation from the owners of the airline and punishment of those responsible.
When one of the victims was found a letter describing in detail everything that happened on the plane before the tragedy. The man said goodbye to family and friends, carefully set the time, then put the letter in his driver's license, which he put in his back pocket.
The cause of the accident was that twelve minutes after taking off into the air, the vertical stabilizer on the tail fell off the aircraft. The crew managed to keep the unmanned airbus in the air for another half an hour, but tragedy could not be avoided.
Only 4 people survived the plane crash
On this day, one of the largest air crashes in the world occurred at the Chimkent airport. An IL-76TD transport aircraft, operated by Air-Kazakhstan, took off into the sky. He was about to make a charter flight to Delhi, India. There were 26 adults, one child and ten airline employees on board. Two hours later, the plane requested a landing at the airfield. Within fifteen minutes he was to be on solid ground.
Everything was going well, but at 18:47 a Boeing 747 began to rise from the airport, bound for Saudi Arabia. Most of its passengers are Indians bound for seasonal oil work. Having risen to a height of 3 km, the pilot requested permission for further ascent. The dispatcher refused, but there was no response from the Boeing pilot, it is still not clear why. However, according to the records from the black boxes, it was found out that the pilot was warned about the airbus flying towards him.
349 people died instantly
On the screen, the dispatcher saw how the points of the two liners met. This often happens when one flies under the other. And in just a fraction of a second, they should have dispersed again, but this did not happen, instead, the points completely disappeared from the screen. The frightened dispatcher requested both liners, but received no answer.
As it turned out, the Boeing collided with the IL, splitting the fuselage in the center. More than five hundred tons of twisted iron fell down, nearly hitting the nearest villages.
After the disaster, the wreckage burned for 4 hours
A terrible plane crash happened that day. Liner DC-10 landed on the Orly airfield in Paris. It was the day after a significant rugby match and hundreds of fans were now rushing home. Fortunately, not all tickets were sold out, there were almost two hundred empty seats. There were 345 people on board, including crew members. The landing process was a little delayed, so that the departure occurred 10 minutes later than planned.
At an altitude of 7 km, the door of the rear cargo compartment opened - the lock was not securely closed. The door was blown away by the wind along with part of the skin. Due to decompression, a whirlwind burst into the plane, blowing away two rows of seats along with people. The pilots did not immediately realize what was happening. All three motor control sticks were thrown into idle mode. The autopilot has been disabled. After that, the liner was sharply thrown to the left side, at the same time turning its nose to the ground.
There were no survivors of the plane crash
The pilots could not cope with the control, as the mechanisms failed. Already 10 seconds after the start of the accident, the liner rushed to the ground at a speed of 580 km / h, completely out of control, and after 77 seconds it collided with a mountainside overgrown with trees. The accident was so severe that there was absolutely nothing left of the plane and its passengers, there was nothing even to burn. In an attempt to find the largest parts in the forest, one of the landing gear was found.
This is the most famous plane crash that occurred over the surface of the water. Nobody could escape it. The Boeing 474 was flying from Montreal to Bombay. When the plane was flying over the neutral waters of the Atlantic, there was a terrible explosion on board. Everything happened so quickly that the crew could not even send a distress signal to the dispatcher. The plane quickly disintegrated in the sky.
From the data obtained from the black box records, it turned out that the responsibility for the explosion lies with the terrorists.
During the hostilities in the Donetsk region, a Malaysian Boeing 777 was shot down, returning from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. The plane crashed to the ground near the village of Grabovo, killing absolutely everyone inside, almost 300 people. This is the worst plane crash since the 2001 terrorist attack on the United States. Ukrainian side completely denies any involvement in the event, while blaming Russia.
The plane flew over Ukraine at an altitude of 9.5 km, later 10 km. At 2:15 p.m., the liner stopped responding to dispatcher requests, it was 50 km before the Russian-Ukrainian border. According to the plan, he was supposed to cross the border at 17:25. No distress signals were issued prior to the crash.
Burning wreckage of the aircraft was found on the territory of Ukraine, scattered within a radius of 15 km
An-32B aircraft in complex weather conditions operated a flight from the airport of the capital of the Congo - Kinshasa. On board were consumer goods, as well as two passengers and, of course, the crew. Takeoff began at 11:40; 44 seconds later, when the front landing gear should have taken off the runway, this did not happen. Three seconds later, the pilot made an attempt to abort the takeoff process by removing the lever, and then remove the propellers from the stop.
There were no barriers at the end of the runway at the airfield, and outside it there is a drainage ditch, behind which is the city market. Colliding with the parapet of the ditch, the plane drove straight into the market, drove through the malls, and as a result of collisions with them, an unexpected fire occurred. The flight mechanic of the aircraft was killed, the rest of the people on board were seriously injured. But almost 300 people from those in the market died on the ground.
The plane was overloaded and therefore could not take off.
Shortly after the passenger plane L-1011 took off from the airport in Riyadh and was about to head to the city of Jeddah, a fire broke out on board. The pilots managed to make an emergency landing, but as soon as the plane touched the ground and its doors opened, it was completely engulfed in flames. The door to the passenger compartment was opened only after 20 minutes. According to data received later, the passengers at that time had already died from severe carbon monoxide poisoning.
Five minutes later, the fire was put out. The plane burned down almost completely, only the wings and the vertical stabilizer on the tail remained. 301 people were killed - all who were on board.
Rescuers took a long time to understand the instructions for English language, which led to the delay rescue operation
Just minutes after taking off from Bandar Abbas airport, the A300 was shot down by an attacking US missile fired from the ground. Everyone who was inside died, these are 290 people. The cruiser that launched the missile was at that time standing in the waters belonging to Iran. The US government said the cruiser mistook the A300 for an Iranian aircraft taking off for a military purpose. This version has received a lot of criticism. Be that as it may, in the official report, in order to justify the incident, the stressful state of the cruiser's crew was indicated, as well as the external similarity of the A300 with military aircraft.
According to the Iranians, the attack was completely deliberate, designed to put pressure on the country's government to conclude a truce with Iran. This would be beneficial to the US.
The disaster is considered the most tragic of those that did not occur due to a fall, collision or terrorist attack.
To date, airliners are the most comfortable and fastest mode of transport, allowing you to cross the entire globe in a matter of hours. On solid ground, the aircraft seems large and reliable, but it turns out that in the sky it can be almost defenseless. Nevertheless, you should not expose yourself to fears, because according to statistics, fewer people die in air crashes of all types of transport accidents.
