Accidents in aviation go back as far as aviation itself. Since Orville and Wilbur Wright, there have always been tragedies involving aircraft of all kinds. The Hindenburg disaster, for example, was one of the most notable accidents in aviation ever recorded. Considering the task of aircrafts, especially in todays busy age where holidays and business travel place huge burdens on our skies, it is a wonder there have not been many more accidents but the ones that have happened have left a lasting impact. Through the years people have watched, thanks to film reels, then television, now video, as planes have crashed into everything from barns to mountain sides. JFK Jr. was the victim of an accident in aviation and regrettably the body was never found. Accidents in aviation look horrific as they are viewed on a television or computer screen, but then, so do all accidents including automobile accidents.
