Deadliest crash[edit]

The deadliest crash of this year was an unusual incident: in the Guangzhou Baiyun aircraft collisions, which occurred on 2 October in Guangzhou, China, 128 people were killed when a hijacked Boeing 737 struck two other aircraft during an emergency landing in which the hijacker attempted to gain control of the aircraft. The deadliest single-aircraft accident was Indian Airlines Flight 605, an Airbus A320 which crashed whilst attempting to land at Bangalore, India on 14 February, killing 92 of the 146 people on board.
