10 Mysterious plane crashes in the world

The incident of the sudden disappearance of Malaysia Airlines plane has confused people but this is not the first incident of missing plane. Even before this, this type of incident has happened on many occasions.
The most famous plane disappearance is that of Amelia Earhart, a female aviator whose plane went missing in 1937 while attempting to circumnavigate the world by air. At the time of its disappearance, the plane was flying over the Pacific Ocean with Captain Fred Noonan on board. Searchers were unsuccessful in locating this twin-engine aircraft after a long search. Amelia Earhart was declared dead after two years. But the search for the plane continued.

Air France flight 447

The wreckage of Air France Flight 447, which was flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris in 2009, was found five days after it crashed.
Its "black box" was found about two years ago at a depth of about 4,000 meters (13,000 ft). All 228 passengers aboard were killed. Investigators found that the speed control device had been jammed by the snow, causing the plane to crash.

Egypt Air flight 990

On October 31, 1999, the airliner crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on a regular flight from New York's JFK Airport to Cairo, killing 217 people. Since the accident occurred in international waters, the investigation was to be handed over to the Egyptian authorities, but after initially asking the US to investigate, Egypt backed down, refusing to accept the US findings. The US concluded that the Egyptian pilot brought down the plane because he was subjected to sexual abuse. Egyptian investigators called it a case of mechanical failure.

British South American Airways Star Dust

In August 1947, a British Avro Lancastrian airliner named Stardust crashed in the Andes Mountains of Argentina during a routine flight from Buenos Aires to Santiago, Chile. Attempts to locate the aircraft at that time were unsuccessful and this fueled much speculation. But with the discovery of the wreckage of this aircraft after 50 years, speculation came to an end. Experts called it an accident caused by bad weather.

Bermuda Triangle

A mythical tri-point in the waters off Bermuda, Florida, and Puerto Rico has been believed to be the cause of many shipwreck and plane crashes. Two British South American aircraft went missing in the area in the 1940s, but in 2009 a BBC journalist found in research that one of the crashes was attributed to catastrophic technical failure and the other to running out of fuel. Although the myth of the Bermuda Triangle is still alive.

Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571

Flight 571 was the second plane to crash because of cloud cover and the height of the mountain. The flight crashed in the Andes Mountains of Argentina during its flight from Uruguay to Santiago, Chile. Half of the 45 people on board were killed in the accident and the other half were trapped in the mountains for 72 days. Eventually 16 people were rescued by the rescue team. The survivors survived by eating the dead. The story of the survivors was also produced on the big screen in 1993 with the film Alive.

TWA 800

On July 17, 1996, Trans World Airlines Flight 800 exploded shortly after takeoff from JFK Airport in New York, killing all 230 people on board. Investigators claim that the accident occurred due to a short circuit. But Kennedy's press secretary and journalist Pierre Salinger claimed that the explosion was caused by an American missile test, but that the documents related to this were unreliable.

US Army Air Corps B-24D

An American bomber aircraft during World War II, the Lady Bee Good went on a mission to Naples, Italy, in April 1943 and never returned to its base in eastern Libya. The plane is believed to have crashed. There were 9 people in it. This aircraft was found after 15 years. Interestingly, its bomber equipment was not damaged by that time and the machine guns were also working.

Steve Fawcett's Belanza Super Decathlon

American daredevil aviator Steve Fawcett was never seen again after flying away from a private airfield in Nevada on 3 September 2007. A massive search operation for the 63-year-old man ended when his single-engine aircraft was found in October 2008. He was the first person to try to fly solo around the world without refueling. Investigators cited high winds as a possible cause of the crash.
