Today, large-capacity aircraft take to the skies, and because of this, disasters are becoming more and more widespread. Here are some of the most famous major plane crashes.


Japan Airlines Flight No. 123

Five hundred and twenty people were killed in the 1985 crash of a Boeing 747 owned by Japan Airlines. He was supposed to fly from Tokyo to Osaka. After twelve minutes of flight, technical problems made themselves felt.

Disaster over India (Charkhi Dadri)

Three hundred and forty-nine victims - this is the result of a mid-air collision between a Boeing 747-100B and an Il-76 aircraft. The disaster occurred just sixty kilometers from Delhi. An Il-76 belonging to Kazakh Airlines descended from fifteen to fourteen thousand feet without receiving permission. As a result, he rammed the stabilizer and left wing of the Boeing.


In this terrible accident no one survived. The Boeing disintegrated in the air after the collision, the IL remained “intact”, but lost control.

Plane crash in Ermenonville

In France, the largest plane crash is considered to have occurred in 1974. We're talking about flight 981 Turkish Airlines. 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 completely engulfed in flames. Everyone inside, three hundred and one people, burned or died from suffocation.

Flight IR655

In the summer of 1988 over Persian Gulf V airspace Iran's Airbus A300 was shot down. He was flying from Tehran to Dubai. The American military cruiser Vincennes incorrectly identified it, which is why it was shot down using surface-to-air missiles.


America never admitted its guilt, and no apologies were made to the families of the two hundred and ninety victims. However, the US authorities paid compensation in the amount of almost sixty-two million dollars.

American Airlines Flight 191

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 was flying 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 came off, damaging the wing - the airliner crashed next to the runway.
