Air disasters refer to catastrophic events involving aircraft, often resulting in significant loss of life and property. These incidents can occur during various phases of flight, including takeoff, cruising, and landing. Common causes include mechanical failure, human error, and adverse weather conditions. The aftermath of air disasters often leads to investigations by organizations like the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) or the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). These investigations aim to determine the causes and improve safety measures to prevent future incidents, ultimately enhancing the overall safety of air travel.
