Once the flights of planes paved their way on international level; they became the most luxurious mode and people belonging to elite class started preferring them for having the short time used for covering long distances. In the beginning passengers were few and the flights were only used for international travelling. With the gradual evolution; people travelling through planes grew in number and flights made their routes vast as these were also started for domestic purposes. These were no more a sign of elite class as common people could affordably go through them on their destinations.

The plane crashes are the worst and bring the greater disasters if happen. Sometimes, the dead bodies are unable to be called bodies for the scattered body parts and the ruined lives. An accident on road or for land transportation can never be compared with a plane crash as the chances of people to be rescued are near to zero in the case of a plane crash. You will hardly have heard that the victims of a plane crash were able to survive; the reason is that they do not remain alive till the plane crashes the land or loses its track. So, these crashes are always taken on serious nodes and the steps are immediately taken to control this to happen for the next time.

If tracing the history; you will find always one or two major reasons behind a plane crash. Most of the crashes involve human errors and the failure of communication. Where there is a technical fault and the plane is well equipped, the chances of survival grow if the plane lands before the fault takes the control of flight.

Most common reasons involve the engine failure of the planes. The engine failure is the test of the pilot’s stamina and nerves. At this moment the high need is of keeping control of nerves, only then it is possible to take the further and the quick steps. The next essential helpful hand is of the communication between the control tower and the transmitter of the plane used by the pilot. This fault is hard to deal with and the danger is serious if there is no nearby airport where the plane can land.

Other major reason is of mid air collision of the planes. This collision can be very similarly taken to the collision of vehicles on the land. But here the chances are more that the nearby rescue party may save the passengers and the number of deaths may be reduced. But in case of the plane collision, shreds reach down the earth after the complete burning of the plane and the destruction of all human life on the board. It was the same reason that Russia and Cargo 3D crashed with the killing of more than 50 people over Swiss airspace.

It was quite surprised to find that pilot’s errors became one of the common reasons that the plane suffered with a crash. This happens when an individual become autonomous and decides to take his own decision. By doing this he forgets that he is responsible for the lives sitting and travelling in his plane. This error is likely to happen when the pilot decides to land on the runway of his own choice without the instructions from the control tower. By doing this, he is equally unaware of the conditions and feasibility of the runway where he is going to land his plane. The major fear is that the runway might be shorter than the required space for the plane or it may not be well spacious. In this case the sole responsibility falls on the pilot.

Negligence maintenance has become one of the very common reasons which are growing for the incidents happening. The plane structure is too old and the facilities and the capacity inside are not sufficient for travelling for long destinations. Added more to it, they are not maintained well and are not tuned technically. The result is that once the plane takes the departure; it comes before that the body of the plane is shattering or the tailor the sculpture is ruptured and unable to face the air pressure.

Fuel tank explosions also bring great disasters when become the reason of a plane crash. The fuel explosion does not leave any chance of survival and all the crew and passengers face the burning leading to their death. In this case even the plane burns and leaves the material sticking to the bodies present inside. This tank explosion is not sudden and usually few signs are found which may be neglected or not taken seriously. If the fault is repaired before setting the plane on flight, it will surely not happen. Such cases are rare yet have occurred for once or twice.

Weather clearance is the reason of the crashes for most of the domestic flights. Foggy weather and the cloudy atmosphere bring the planes near to the crash. It may strike to a cliff or an unseen tree growing taller than the others. In such weathers, flights are usually not sent and weather predictions are used for setting the schedule.  Even then domestic flights meet crashes because the companies do take risks and start sending flights when they find the horizon clear for brief duration.

All the above mentioned reasons are common and have become the source of one or the other crash. The worst crashes include crash of 1977 when two flights collided on the runway and brought a killing of more than 583 people, crash of Japanese Airline in 1985 where killing of 520 passengers were seen. This was on account of the faulty repairs of the bulkhead which had undergone an accident seven years ago; for finding the reason out, the supervisor committed suicide and the chairman resigned.

Whatever the reason may be the plane crash brings unusual destruction and in the recent decade it has been very common for domestic flights to meet a crash for one or the other trivial reason.
