May 25, 1979

The worst air disaster in U.S. history occurred
when a DC-10 crashed at Chicago's O'Hare airport,
killing over 270 people.


(engine fell off after takeoff, loss of aileron
control)




unfornunately a record airbus will eventually break.



Unfortunately, the worst Airbus disaster to date seems to be this one:

July 1988 An Iranian Airbus was shot down by the US Navy ship Vincennes
as it was flying across the Persian Gulf, killing 290 people with no
survivors.

You could certainly call that a disaster, especially with the subsequent
whitewash.
