| 520 | _a"According to statistics compiled by the National Transportation Safety Board, between 1987 and 2000, only two fatal accidents (involving one death each) aboard U.S. commercial airliners were attributed to turbulence, and the phenomenon is believed to have caused the crash of just one U.S. airliner--some 40 years ago--mostly because the pilots failed to respond properly when severe winds struck." (AIR & SPACE) This article describes air turbulence and examines how airlines are affected when an airliner is struck by turbulence, focusing on physical injuries to passengers and crew and discussing the financial losses involved. | ||
