Common causes of plane crashes

Common causes of plane crash: technical failure, human factors and weather factors.

Engine failure may cause the plane to lose power and crash. Aircraft system failure, such as electrical system or hydraulic system failure, may affect the maneuverability of the aircraft, thus causing accidents. In addition, the damage, fatigue and corrosion of aircraft structures may also lead to aircraft accidents. These technical failures often need careful repair and maintenance to prevent and ensure the safety of aircraft.

The pilot's wrong decision, wrong operation and wrong operation of the aircraft system may lead to serious consequences. For example, pilots' fatigue, unskilled skills and poor communication with other crew members may all lead to accidents. In addition, the wrong operation of ground maintenance personnel may also lead to aircraft accidents.

Bad weather conditions, such as strong winds, thunderstorms, heavy snow and other adverse weather may bring trouble to the flight. Flying in low visibility can easily lead to accidents when landing or taking off. In addition, hail will also have a negative impact on the external structure and aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft, which may lead to the plane crash.

The worst air crash in history.

Disaster at Tenerife Airport in Spain

The explosion at Gran Canaria Airport in Spain caused several flights to be diverted to Tenerife Airport, including KLM Flight 4805 and Pan Am Flight 1736. Due to dense fog, no ground radar and communication errors, two Boeing 747s collided. The accident claimed the lives of 583 passengers, and only 6 1 passenger of Pan Am flight survived.

2.JAL flight 1985.

The crash of JAL 123 is still the most serious air crash involving a single plane so far. The Boeing 747 plane carrying 524 passengers and crew flew from Tokyo Haneda Airport to Osaka. Only 12 minutes after take-off, the plane was decompressed by explosion. This leads to the failure of rudder and hydraulic system, which the pilot can't control effectively.

Despite this, the crew managed to keep the plane flying in the air for half an hour, but it finally crashed on the ridge in the northwest of Tokyo, killing 520 passengers and leaving only four survivors.
