BOAC 707 at Tokyo-Haneda taxiing past the wreckage of a Canadian Pacific DC8 on 5th March 1966 (which crashed there the previous evening) about half an hour before it crashed itself. The 707 was photographed a couple of times in its rapid descent.

The first one now reminds me of the 'tourist guy' fake pictures, it just looks so fake (i know it is real).
Imagine seeing that in the distance while you are just chatting with a friend, and i'll bet they couldn't hear it gliding like that either (although i might be wrong, if its a fixed 35mm lens then it is quite close).

according to airdisaster.com, that BOAC 707 which crashed in Japan in 1966 had a flight number of 911 and the accident was caused by 'encountering severe turbulence while the pilot gave the passengers a close view of Mt. Fuji.'
I wonder could this accident be prevented if the pilot didn't do what he did.

One of the most unforgettable crash photos (in my mind) is the shot of the nose of Clipper Maid of the Seas, lying on its side outside Lockerbie, Scotland, the morning after the fateful night PA 103 was lost. I remember reading a newspaper article and seeing Margaret Thatcher and her entourage standing near the nose a day or two after the accident. Hard to believe that 13 years have gone by since the incident, seems almost like yesterday.
It was especially memorable since on that particular day we were decorating our tree, and we normally don't do it so late. However, due to conflicts in the schedules of my wife's and mine, we had to wait until the 21st to decorate the Christmas tree as a family. I remember turning the TV on as we brought the tree into the house and feeling shocked as I had personally taken that flight twice before when visiting my sister-in-law while she studied in Germany. She had actually taken that flight many times before on the same aircraft, and she actually was on the flight on December 19th, though not on the same aircraft.
25 IMissPiedmont: Most famouse, excluding the September 11 tragedies, is almost certainly PA 103 at Lockerbie. Second has to be the Concorde. AA 191 and PS 182 are not
27 IMissPiedmont: Dictionary? Neophyte means an untrained newbie. The new guy. The one who may be curious but doesn't know yet what the truth is.
28 Redngold: I guess the one that shocks me the most and sticks out in my mind is the AA191 photo, because you can see how massive the aircraft is, and how devasta

31 Dreamexpress: I would post the villagers picture of JAL123 if I knew how to do it ! I have no link for it
32 CPDC10-30: This brand-new China Airlines B744 going for a swim in HK is one of the most infamous: Thankfully no-one was killed or seriously injured.
33 CPDC10-30: You can find these pictures at http://www.airdisaster.com
34 Jj: You can also find a picture of ual's dc 10 that crashed in sioux city, with a hole init's tail mountedengine, on a book called Air Disaster 2 by MacA
35 Greenjet: You can find a photo of JL 123 with its missing vertical stabiliser at: http://www.airdisaster.com/special/special-jal123.shtml
36 Joni: I also vote for the Concorde climbing from Paris with enormous flames behind it. It looks grainy, graceful and doomed
37 HlywdCatft: You guys are morbid, but I think the most famous video footage of a crash besides Sept 11 would be Sioux City United DC-10
38 EGGD: I think it has to be PA103, that is the first one i can remember. I didn't know about Sioux City until i watched a 'black box' episode where it was fe

40 Goingboeing: Why the morbid fascination with airline accidents? Should we start a topic "Which livery looks best in an accident"?
41 Aloha 737-200: PSA 182 and AA DC-10 1979 @ORD are by far the most famous in my mind. Because you see the aicraft just moment before it hit the ground, if not seconds
42 FlightSimFreak: Perhaps your not a pilot... this facination isn't morbid for me... it's a learning experiance. I learn what not to do
43 Aloha 737-200: Very true FlightSimFreak. Let's all say a prayer for the flight attendant who lost her life on the pop-top Aloha 732. What a way to go. Aloha 737-200
44 Dreamexpress: Ok then, the most famous photo is: Lockerbie, AA191, PSA182 etc..... Whats the most famous black box recording you have heard? Mine has to be: Air Flo
45 Super Em: Pan Am Flight 103 I believe is the most recognizable picture.

56 Aerialpingpong: Lufthansa747, Where did you hear the recording of that Pan Am/KLM transcript?? I have read it several times but have never heard a recording of it.
57 727lover: Anybody got pics of National Airlines "Donna" in Pensacola Bay? May 1978
59 Areopagus: KaiTakFan, the Pan Am 747 at Tenerife was not lost in the fog. It was taxiing back along the runway. The KLM 747 did not have takeoff clearance. When
60 EGFF: Here's just a few that register as some of the worst aircraft crashes in my eyes! Some very sad and distressing sites EGFF
61 Doug_or: Areopagus- the pan am was in fact lost in the fog- he was trying to find the proper turnoff but had in fact already pssed it. You correct though in th
62 GKirk: What about that Ethiopian 767 that was hijacked and ran out of fuel?? EGFF, I seen the PA103 cockpit in real-life, unfortunatly is worse in real-life
63 Greg: I'm surprised by many with such short memories. Without a doubt, it was Pan Am 103. It must have made at least 100 magazine covers worldwide.
64 KaiTakFan: Areo... I just said what i learned in my Air disasters book. Pan Am wasnt familar with the airport, missed its turn off and didnt vacate the runway bu
65 727lover: Pan Am DID miss its turnoff, BUT KLM did NOT have takeoff clearance!!!!!!!
66 Dreamexpress: Thanks for your posts Guys and Girls, this has been quite a topic. Thanks to all
67 Penguinflies: If you think of a series, i would say UA232 as it cartwheels down the runway on its wing
68 IMissPiedmont: I did a little test at work today. Here are the results of the 30 people I showed pictures to and the number that knew what it was. Concorde 30 Locker
69 BaliMorris: Does anyone know where this photo can be found? I'd heard about this BOAC 707 crash, but I'd never heard anything about the Canadian Pacific DC8 crash
