Air travel is generally considered one of the safest means of transportation. However, when air mishaps take place, the consequences are often fatal and could lead to serious injuries or worst of all, death. With air travel expected to grow in the next 20 years as the Federal Aviation Administration had declared recently, a rise in aviation incidents are also more likely to occur in the future.

Tragic and unforgettable incidents involving aircrafts have claimed thousands of lives over the years. In some of these cases, engine malfunction and damage are often seen as the contributing factors in the accident.
