There is no other form of transport more scrutinised and monitored for safety than commercial aviation. The chances of being involved in a fatal aviation accident is over one in seven million, and that's every time you step aboard a plane. In comparison, the chances of being in a fatal train accident on a transcontinental train journey are one in a million. Despite the statistics, the fear of flying is a common one. The helplessness associated with a plane crash is hard to get over, regardless of how unlikely it might be. Additionally, any aviation disasters are often widely covered by mass media outlets, giving the impression that they are more common than they actually are. This list takes a look at thirteen of the most disastrous plane crashes ever to have been captured on video. From airshows gone wrong to hijacked commercial airliners, each of these entries give a harrowing look at what can happen if things go wrong. Please note that many of these entries may be upsetting to some of our readers, so please read on with caution.
