Hi Steemit, as a person who is really into aviation, i wanted to make this list to keep here.

Malaysia Airlines 370

There was no May Day call or signal of predicament when Malaysia airways Flight 370, a 777 carrying 239 men and women en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, dropped off the radar displays on March 8, 2014. More than three years later, it's still aviation's most agonizing mystery. the biggest query: Why the airplane's transponders have been make disabled, making the jet just about invisible because it unaccountably converted direction and headed south, where some professionals suppose it flew for as much as seven hours on autopilot earlier than running out of fuel and crashing into the Indian Ocean.

One thing is obvious: the world would not still be watching for the airplane if it had been equipped with actual-time tracking, which security authorities had been demanding since ever. For that reason of MH370, the international Civil Aviation group has ordered all airlines to install monitoring gear that will keep nearer tabs on planes, chiefly these over the ocean, and aircraft producers are additionally establishing black boxes that would eject and go with the flow routinely when a aircraft hits water.

Air France 447

Around three hours into it's journey from Rio to Paris, Air France Flight 447, an Airbus A330-200, headed into a severe thunderstorm recreation—it used to be never heard from again. From an envelope-pushing altitude of 38,000 ft, the plane entered an aerodynamic stall before plunging into the depths of the southern Atlantic Ocean, killing all 228 people aboard. Several of days later pieces of the wreckage found but the rest of it found almost two years later.

Investigatiors already solved the puzzle about pitot tubes that shows the altitude had frozen and created the series of unlucky events. The crash prompted a renewed effort to retrain pilots to manually fly the plane–no matter what the computer is telling them.

Swissair Flight 111

About an hour after takeoff, the pilots of Swissair's Flight 111 from ny to Geneva smelled smoke within the cockpit. Four minutes later, they started out an immediate descent toward Nova Scotia, about sixty five miles away. however with the hearth spreading and cockpit lights and devices failing, the aircraft crashed into the Atlantic about 5 miles off the Nova Scotia coast. All 229 individuals aboard were killed.

Investigators traced the fireplace to the aircraft's in-flight network, whose set up resulted in the wires over the cockpit.After this accident FAA ordered directly changed wires to fire-resistant materials.

TWA Flight 800

The explosion of the airplane happened in the midair, just taken off from JFK to Paris, Killed all 230 people aboard. Everybody was thinking it might have been a terrorist bomb or an attack but apparently after investigations it showed us it was just because a short circuit in a wire bundle led to a spark in the fuel area.

The FAA has since mandated changes to reduce sparks from faulty wiring and other sources. And boeing has developed a fuel-inerting system that injects nitrogen gas into fuel tanks to reduce the chance of explosions.

ValuJet Flight 592

Unfornutaly an illegal package of chemical oxygen generators in to cargo area caused a fire and the pilots were unable to land burning plane in time. Because of the carsh 110 people lost their life and FAA forced smoke detectors and fire extinguishers in the cargo holds.

For now this is it, my friends but i really love these topics so probably i'll continue this series! See you next time!
