Discover 9 mysterious aircraft accidents in the world

While the world is trying to learn lessons from accidents as well as improving equipment and machinery to improve safety, there are still aviation accidents that cause officials to suffer from headaches. can't find the cause of the incident.

Squadron 19

The unaccounted loss of six planes belonging to the 19th squadron of the US Navy staff during the daily training mission raised the legend of the Bermuda triangle.

Five Gruman Avenger bombers were part of the 19th squadron (commanded by Charles Taylor) taking off from Fort Laudedale, Florida on December 5, 1945. The weather was quite ideal that day, Taylor - an experienced instructor also flew with the squadron.

However, after 90 minutes of training, the pilots lost their orientation and were unable to identify landmarks below the ground. Through radio contact, Taylor said his compass was broken so he could not distinguish between the Florida Key and the Bahama.

The air traffic control station tried to lead Taylor back to Fort Laudedale base, and subordinates also asked him to fly west. However, Taylor continued to lead the unmanned air squadron to the sea. After that, the air traffic control station lost contact with all five aircraft and had no news of them since.

Strangely, the rescue plane was also missing that night in an attempt to find Taylor's squadron. Many assume that the plane exploded in midair due to disorientation.

The most unusual thing was unknown for whatever reason Taylor had asked for a day off from the training, but the squadron commanders disagreed and asked him to perform the task. The reason why Taylor didn't want to fly that day was still a mystery.

Flight number 990 of Egyptian air cargo

Haloween holiday in 1999 was a gloomy day when the Egyptian Airlines flight 990 crashed into the Atlantic, killing 217 people. The Egyptian Civil Aviation Administration investigated the case, but because of a lack of resources and an accident on the international territorial waters, Egypt called for assistance from the National Transport Safety Commission. United States in search and rescue.

The Atlantic engulfed the Egyptian airline flight 990, which killed 217 people

Through preliminary examination the committee discovered the cause of the accident and proposed a transfer for the FBI to handle. However, the Egyptian side protested and asked the US National Transportation Safety Commission to continue the investigation. Evidence of a crime continues to be found later. At the same time the Egyptian side was able to control everything and conduct the investigation himself.

The United States National Transport Safety Commission and the Egyptian Civil Aviation Administration offer two different conclusions. The US side confirmed that the copilot had committed suicide after attempting to crash the plane into the sea intentionally, for some unknown reason. While Egypt blamed the technical incident. However, none of the above explanations received approval from experts. They said the accident was a terrorist attempt to assassinate the 33 staff of the Egyptian Staff on the flight.

Although we cannot know the exact course of the incident, however, the pilot's recording is suggestive of many things. The main pilot said: "What's wrong? What's wrong? Did you turn off the engine?" At the same time, the copilot murmured: "I believe in God."

Star Dust

Star Dust is a civil version of Lancaster bombers. It has been used to serve flights from England to South America and the Caribbean. In 1947, Star Dust aircraft took off from the capital Buenos Aires, Argentina to Santiago, Chile. However, the plane went missing just minutes before landing. In the moments of "a thousand pounds of hair" , the driver of the communication attempted to convey the last message in Mo - cod code: "STENDEC".

No trace of Star Dust was found after the search efforts around the area where the accident occurred. Investigators concluded they could not know what happened to the plane. 50 years later, climbers discovered the debris of an airplane on an iceberg. The landing line of the aircraft was in a range with poor visibility, so the plane was stabbed into a cloud-covered mountain range.

The conclusion about the case quashed the question of technical problems and the abduction of aliens. However, the meaning of the message: "STENDEC" is still a mystery.

Flight 191

Flight 191 was not actually an accident but it was an incident involving a series of accidents of flight number 191. In fact, there were so many disasters that hotel owners didn't want to build to the floor. On the 13th, a number of superstitious airlines completely eliminated the number 191.

Since the 1960s, five No. 191 flights have suffered a serious accident, including the worst accident in US aviation history that killed the lives of 273 people. Most recently, in 2012, JetBlue flight number 191 was on the front page of newspapers, after the insane public administration fee and the three flowers on Jesus, terrorism and 9/11 events. in the cockpit. He was taken out of the plane and reassured by the pilot and passengers before being transferred to a mental hospital.

Although the incident of Flight 191 is just a coincidence, arithmetic has had a debate to decipher the meaning of this number.

Flying Tiger 739 engine

In 1962, a military transport mission called Flying Tiger 739 carried goods and soldiers from California to Saigon, Vietnam. After stopping to refuel at Guam air base, the Super Constellation L-1049 aircraft took off and went missing in the Philippine Sea. The plane went missing in completely normal weather conditions, no emergency calls were recorded. After an unsuccessful search for four army soldiers, 107 men in the crew seemed dead. The plane was never found.

Because no evidence was found, investigators could not conclude the cause of the crash of flight 739. The assumptions and predictions were widespread. The witness testified that they saw a long trail of smoke and light flashed in the place where the accident occurred.

USAir airline 427 flight

132 passengers on USAir Flight 427 are on a journey from Chicago to Pittsburgh. Sadly, only 10 minutes before landing, the plane had an unusual incident and fell to the ground at a speed of about 500km / h. All 132 people in the crew and passengers were killed. It was the deadliest accident in American history that war veterans had to shudder to witness the scene.

Often, investigators can determine the cause of the accident in a week or two, but it takes up to four years to determine the incident that led to the disaster. Experts studied all possible assumptions and determined that the incident in the steering system caused pilots to lose control.

While the mystery is being solved, the question is whether USAir will discover a problem in the steering system of Boeing 737 aircraft. Similar accidents in the 90s indicate that USAir has It is possible to prevent catastrophe of Flight 427 if they investigate past accidents thoroughly. Many relatives of the victims sued USAir airline and Boeing corporation. These two companies compensated the families of victims of $ 50 million without court intervention.

TWA flight number 800

In 1996, the TWA 800 flight exploded and crashed only 12 minutes after taking off from John F. Kennedy airport to take the lives of 230 people. After 4 years of investigation, the National Transportation Safety Administration concluded that the failure in the electrical system caused a fire to burn fuel as the cause of the disaster. However, that explanation contradicts hundreds of FBI witnesses, because they saw firsthand the trail of light behind the plane, causing the plane to burn like a fireball. These reports have led many people to believe that the aircraft was actually shot down by the missiles.

So who shot down a civilian plane? One of the most convincing assumptions is that the US military mistakenly shot during a regular Navy exercise that took place in Long Island. In addition, there are some unusual things around the incident, including residual residues on the aircraft, indicating that the FBI has faked evidence, changing the information on the radar before publicizing it first. general public.

Flight No. 447 of Air France

In 2009, Air France Flight 447 crashed and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, bringing 228 lives permanently into the seabed. No distress signals were recorded, nor did anyone know the plane crashed until an hour later, when the air traffic control agency could not contact the pilot. This "self-driving" aircraft is one of the safest aircraft in aviation history, it seems there is no reason for it to disappear.

It is difficult to determine the cause of the accident, the debris scattered throughout the sea surface. The search seemed hopeless when the black boxes of the aircraft could not be found after 30 days, because then the navigator in the black boxes would stop transmitting. However, the French authorities continued the search. By 2011, a private rescue team had been hired to perform the task, they had located the debris of the plane in just one week. The French Navy recovered all the data in aircraft black boxes and found bodies of more than 100 victims.

The conclusion of the investigation revealed that the pilot's flaws after interrupting the "self-driving" system led to tragedy. Although the mystery has been elucidated, many still question why experienced pilots (3 people on the airplane cockpit) may lose control of the plane in such a normal situation. .

Pan Am flight number 7

On November 8, 1957, Pan Am's flight No. 7, which had just begun its round-the-world journey, unfortunately landed on the sea to take 44 lives. Fragments were found a week later, when the US Navy carrier detected dead bodies drifting in Northeast Honolulu.

Authorities cannot determine the cause of the accident, but there are some suspicious things in this incident. Firstly, no relief call was successfully made, the debris was very far from the flight path. Most suspicious, the report on toxin testing showed that toxic carbon monoxide was found in the bodies of ill-fated victims.

More than 50 years later, people still seek answers to this mystery. Some hypotheses suggest that the accident involves the personal grudge of the crew members, some suggesting that the accident is a conspiracy to benefit from insurance or an emergency incident. muscle.
