In aviation parlance, an airplane accident is an event that leads to death or injury of passengers and crew and damage to an airplane. In contrast, an incident is any event that could lead (but did not lead) to an accident. For instance, a crash is classified as an accident. But the cockpit display switching off during a flight is an incident.There have been many incidents and accidents ever since the Wright brothers made the first powered flight in 1903. But some of these events are so scary and unusual that they deserve notable mentions.
