Ten Plane Crashes That Changed Aviation
"Ned" wrote in message ... Ten Plane Crashes That Changed Aviation Popular Mechanics | By David Noland | October 13, 2007 Flying in a jetliner is extraordinarily safe: There has been only one fatal crash in the United States in the past five years, an astounding record considering that more than 30,000 flights take off every day. How did flying get so reliable? In part, because of accidents that triggered crucial safety improvements. Here are eight crashes and two emergency landings whose influence is felt -- for the good -- each time you step on a plane. No mention of the 1950's Comet crashes which resulted in the installation of the black box and the process of laying out the aircraft in a hangar to determine why it crashed. Very important methinks.
