Accidents of aircraft: real facts

Present a modern world without aircraftis impossible. It seems that only recently mankind was able to use this type of transport, and it immediately became a favorite means of transportation, thanks to rapid delivery and comfort. At the same time, the medal has another side.

Immediately after the first flights, disasters beganaircraft. And if accidents among other modes of transport make it possible to survive, then it was practically impossible in airplanes. After all, here the altitude is several thousand meters, with the fall the upholstery of the aircraft lights up, and when a collision with the earth occurs an instant explosion. The number of victims of the accident is colossal and the entire composition of passengers almost always perishes.

The most tragic is the 1940's.Only in a few months there were multiple disasters of military aircraft, most of which were caused by the drivers. People invented a flying ship, but they could not cope with it. Television and radio were literally bursting with reports of new crashes. Military operations were gaining momentum in the celestial expanses, and aircraft crashes were not uncommon. However, during the war years, tests were started, and new military equipment was invented, aviation improved, fighter planes and air tanks appeared.

The level of reliability of military aviation wasseveral steps higher than ensuring the safety of passengers on ordinary aircraft. Often in the way unchecked cars with budget bundling, on board which were ordinary people, were sent. Of course, the state allocated money to improve aviation standards, but almost all the funds went to military models, while conventional Boeing were a kind of danger on wheels.

When there were aircraft crashes, orthe air ship does not reach its destination, all the blame was blamed on the weather conditions, no one said that the aircraft only at the stage of improvement and new developments, and fly by such flights are akin to a death sentence without qualitative testing of equipment.

Fortunately, the era of substandard technology has passed,ended with the war period, as the statistics say. Since the 1950s, various standards and safety standards have increased. Several significant improvements were made, thanks to which it became safer to fly.

But a few decades later, againa wave of catastrophes, various terrorist organizations have undermined cars with several hundred passengers, so the control of air travel has become even tougher to protect customers, many airlines have introduced additional measures.

The statistics of aircraft crashes show thatthe last 20 years there was a significant improvement in the quality of flights and protection of passengers, the total number of disasters decreased from 600 with a total of 15,000 casualties to 200 with 6000 thousand deaths.

From the 1990s to the present dayairship has become one of the safest modes of transport, and the evidence is the emergence of many new flights, and aircraft crashes occur very rarely, due to the high quality of technology and the level of modern airlines.
