Understanding Aircraft Accidents: How and Why They Happen
According to Aviation Safety Network (ASN) statistics, air travel is one of the safest forms of transportation. Nevertheless, accidents do happen, often with severe physical and psychological consequences, and in the most catastrophic cases, they may result in deaths.
Aviation accidents and plane crashes, whether they involve commercial airliners or private aircrafts, occur due to a multitude of factors:
- Mechanical Failures: Mechanical or electrical problems can sometimes force an aircraft to make an emergency landing, with potentially serious consequences for those on board.
- Pilot Error: Whether due to negligence, fatigue, communication breakdown, or other reasons, pilot error can easily lead to a loss of control of an aircraft.
- Weather-Related Issues: Bad weather conditions affect both small private planes and large commercial jets. Lightning, hail, snow, heavy rain, extreme wind, low visibility, and freezing rain can all pose significant problems.
- Air Traffic Control Errors: Air traffic controllers play a critical role in the safe navigation of airways. However, accidents occur when there are lapses in attention, poor communication, or poor judgment.
- In-Flight Incidents: Sudden drops in elevation, turbulence, or unexpected turns can lead to in-flight injuries. Commercial aviation accidents like being hit by a service cart, struck by falling luggage, or scalded by spilled hot drinks can result in serious harm.
