Plane crashes are among the most dangerous transportation accidents. They often result in very serious injuries or fatalities. Aircraft accidents are generally caused by pilot error, improper maintenance of the aircraft, or defective aircraft or parts. The most common causes include, mechanical difficulties, running out of fuel, flying in dangerous weather conditions, failure to complete the proper pre-flight checks and inspections, crashes during takeoff and landings, air traffic control error, flying too low, pilot fatigue, inexperience, stress, alcohol or medication use, or illness, or misuse of technology. There are many parties that could be responsible for a plane or helicopter crash, they include, the pilots, commercial airlines, air traffic controllers, aircraft designers, aircraft manufacturers, aircraft mechanics, ground crew, or fixed base operators.
