Airplane Accidents Resource Center

Although air travel is statistically the safest form of transportation, Airplane Accidents can be tragic and catastrophic, with victims rarely escaping serious injury and death. Plane Accidents can be caused by pilot error, mechanical failure, weather conditions, air traffic controller error, fuel contamination, improper maintenance practices, improper loading procedures, and sabotage. As defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization, Aviation Accidents can occur any time between boarding and disembarking. Most Airplane Accidents occur during takeoff and landing, and private aircraft accidents are more common than accidents involving commerical airlines.
