Air
Crashes
An
aviation accident is defined by the Convention on International
Civil Aviation Annex 13 as an occurrence associated with
the operation of an aircraft, which takes place between
the time any person boards the aircraft with the intention
of flight until all such persons have disembarked, where
a person is fatally or seriously injured, the aircraft
sustains damage or structural failure or the aircraft
is missing or is completely inaccessible. If the aircraft
is destroyed or severely damaged so that it must be written
off, it is further defined as a hull loss accident. Annex
13 further defines an aviation incident as an occurrence,
other than an accident, associated with the operation
of an aircraft which affects or could affect the safety
of operation.
The
first fatal aviation accident was the crash of a Rozière
balloon near Wimereux, France, on June 15, 1785, killing
its inventor Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier
as well as the other occupant, Pierre Romain. The first
involving a powered aircraft was the crash of a Wright
Model A aircraft at Fort Myer, Virginia, USA, on September
17, 1908, injuring its co-inventor and pilot, Orville
Wright, and killing the passenger, Signal Corps Lieutenant
Thomas Selfridge.
