The most famous air disasters in history, and the rule each one changed. ✈️ Tenerife (1977) is the deadliest accident ever: two 747s collided in fog, 583 lives lost. It led to modern Crew Resource Management, which trains crews to challenge each other, and to strict radio wording, so “takeoff” is only said when you’re actually cleared. Malaysia Airlines 370 (2014) vanished over the Indian Ocean with 239 people aboard. Today, airliners on long flights must report their position every 15 minutes, and every minute if they’re in distress. Air France 447 (2009) fell from 38,000 ft into the Atlantic after the crew lost control in a high-altitude stall. Pilot training for stalls and hand-flying was overhauled worldwide. The Boeing 737 MAX crashes, Lion Air 610 (2018) and Ethiopian 302 (2019), killed 346 people and led to a 20-month global grounding and a redesign of the MCAS flight software. Pan Am 103 (1988) is why your checked bag can’t fly without you. After Germanwings 9525 (2015), many airlines adopted a rule that two people must always be in the cockpit. Not all of them were tragedies. On the Miracle on the Hudson (2009), all 155 people survived, and it became the textbook case for bird strikes and ditching. On United 232 (1989), 184 people survived a landing with almost no flight controls. Aloha 243 (1988) lost part of its roof in flight and launched aging-aircraft inspections. Eastern 401 (1972) crashed while the whole crew focused on a burnt-out landing-gear bulb, one of the accidents that created CRM training.
