One of the most controversial and important air crash linked to human error of the modern world happened on the night of February 12, 2009. Colgan air flight 3407, operated by Continental Connection, was on final approach to runway 23 at Buffalo-Niagara International Airport as it disappeared from radar. The aircraft was a Bombardier Dash 8, a popular twin engine medium range turboprop Airliner used by many regional carriers. The aircraft entered an uncontrollable stall crashing into to a neighborhood 5 miles northeast of the airport killing all everyone on souls on board. The Captain, Marvin Resnlow and first officer Rebecca Lynne were behind the controls the night of the accident. The NTSB report determined error by both pilots cause the aircraft to crash. Thus, pilot fatigues, improper recovery form a stall were contributing factors. The victim’s family members pushed for congress to overhaul airline regulations. The NTBS investigation delivery multiple findings that eventually led to a modernization of airline operations and pilot training.
This paper reviews the tragic mid-air crash of PSA flight 182 and Cessna N7711G a Cessna 172 over San Diego and its resulting FAA rules and regulation changes, and their affect on the U.S. aviation industry. PSA Flight 182’s mid-air resulted in the most sweeping FAA changes to airspace to date. The FAA rules and regulation changes was a success in preventing similar mid-airs of this type.
Multiple factors were contributing to American Airlines fatal accident in 1999. To identify the factors and different issues with American Airlines Flight 1420 the SHELL model will be used. One of the major cause of this accident was a breakdown in Liveware-Software. Liveware-Software investigates procedures, manuals, checklists and standard operational procedures (ICAO SHELL Model, 2016).
The day of 9/11 sparked the attention of the aviation industry, citing that it will never be the same again. Different sectors
An American Airline, Boeing 767, had been hijacked and was loaded with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel. Boeing 767 was crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City.

This crash is considered to be the second deadliest aviation accident at the time in the US.
At that time the aircraft was roughly 8 nautical miles northwest of SFB and was turning toward the airport while rapidly descending. Primary radar returns that were recorded for about another minute and 30 seconds showed the airplane maintaining a heading of about 150° towards SFB. The last of these primary radar returns was recorded about 0834:45; the Board’s study estimated that at that time the aircraft was about three miles northwest of SFB and descending through about 1,200 feet above ground level (AGL). The aircraft subsequently crashed in a residential area about 0.7 nautical miles west of the last primary radar return.
Unfortunately, crashes and crises aren’t a new things in today 's world. Far too often we have car crashes, boats sinking, car explosions, or bus crashes.
