Normally it’s everyone dies or everyone survives. Agreed. The all or nothing thing strikes me as a relatively recent aviation phenomenon and there are quite a few historic examples of a more mixed outcome. Probably in most of these cases everyone would have survived today: 1965 - United Airlines 227 - 43 died, 48 survived 1967 - CSA Flight 523 - 35 died, 34 survived 1970 - ALM Flight 980 - 23 died, 40 survived 1975 - Inex-Adria Aviopromet Flight 450 - 79 died, 41 survived 1976 - American Airlines Flight 625 - 37 died, 51 survived 1978 - Loftleiðir Flight 001 - 183 died, 79 survived 1985 - Manchester Airport disaster - 55 died, 82 survived 1989 - Kegworth Air Disaster - 47 died, 79 survived 1989 - Korean Air 803 - 75 died, 124 survived 1990 - Avianca Flight 052 - 73 died, 85 survived 2000 - Singapore Airlines Flight 006 - 83 died, 96 survived Also worth remembering that 61 people survived the worst ever peacetime aviation disaster at Tenerife in 1977. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
