face to face Worst Mid-Air Crash in Aviation History

face to face Worst Mid-Air Crash in Aviation History On November 12, 1996, the world witnessed the deadliest mid-air collision in aviation history. Over Charkhi Dadri, India, a Saudi Arabian Airlines Boeing 747 and a Kazakhstan Airlines Ilyushin 76 collided in the sky, killing all 349 people on board. Despite Air Traffic Control assigning safe altitudes, a series of communication failures, language barriers, and lack of modern safety technology led to this unimaginable tragedy. This documentary explores what went wrong, how air traffic control limitations and cockpit confusion played a role, and how this disaster changed global aviation safety forever. The Charkhi Dadri collision became the reason why Traffic Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS) were made mandatory worldwide and why strict English language proficiency standards were enforced for international pilots. This video is a reminder that aviation safety rules are written in blood — and why standardized procedures save lives. ✈️ Subscribe for more aviation disaster documentaries, air crash investigations, and real flight tragedy stories. ✦ Disclaimer ✦ These videos are for educational purposes.
