Category:Aviation accidents and incidents
|
This is the category for aviation accidents and incidents, internationally used terms that, between them, cover any event where the safety of an aircraft was, or could have been, compromised. Accidents are, deliberately, defined by the industry in such a way as to not actually require them to be an accident. This is so events such as bombings can still be examined from a safety perspective independent of any criminal investigation. Latest storiesRefresh this list to see the latest articles.
