Have you ever been on a flight thinking you were just going to fall out of nowhere? The only ways for that to happen is if the engine fails, no more gas, or if somebody falls asleep on the job. Now these rarely ever happen. As I continue ii’ll be talking about the 3 most deadliest airplane crashes with the most fatalities. They were called, Tenerife Airport Disaster, Japan Airlines Flight 123, and Charkhi Dadri mid-air Collision.
After asking an 8th grader at Unis Middle School Aya Ismail how she felt when she was landing, she stated, “I was very scared, I thought I was going to throw up because of all the turbulence.” A tragic end 40 years ago when 2 planes collided in a foggy path way at Tenerife Airport on March 27, 1977.
Another devastating plane crash was on August 12,1985. The plane’s wing crashed into Mount Takamagahara in Central Japan. The wing got stuck after landing on it’s a back with an explosive compression. There was about 200 people on the plane and on that day and only four survived.
On the same topic , another 8th grader from Unis Middle School Leann Bazzi, what did she learn to do and not to do on the plane. “I learned to stay in my seat and not to stand up because if the plane were to fall I would’ve got hurt and or could’ve died.”
Now, for the most deadliest air-plane collision mid-air was Charkhi Dadri mid-air collision! In this tragic moment, there was 349 fatalities. For some of you that don’t know what collision or collided is, it means when one object and another is hit with force when moving. This happened on November 12, 1996. What side affect was there while on the plane? “My head started to hurt because of all the pressure” noted Madina Berro, an 8th grader who also attends Unis Middle School. She has a point because all the pressure is when the plane is landing.
In conclusion, you should always stay safe on planes.
Always have safety straps on the plane and always be careful. I hope these 3 topics were helpful to these people in need that have suffered serious injuries or have died, those 3 topics were Tenerife Airport Disaster, Japan Airlines Flight 123, and Charkhi Dadri mid-air Collision.Three people that I have interviewed were very helpful for this story.
