Airline accidents refer to incidents involving commercial aircraft that result in damage, injury, or loss of life. These accidents can occur during various phases of flight, including takeoff, cruising, and landing. Factors contributing to airline accidents may include mechanical failure, human error, weather conditions, or external events such as bird strikes. Despite the potential for serious outcomes, air travel remains one of the safest modes of transportation. Organizations like the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) work to investigate accidents and implement safety measures to reduce risks and improve aviation safety worldwide.
