An air crash is when an airplane, helicopter or other flying machine somehow crashes, usually resulting in loss of life. It can be a mid-air collision, a crash into high terrain such as a mountain, or a crash into the ground. It is usually caused by one of these things:
- Bird strike
- Engine failure
- Low visibility
- Fuel lines or fuel freezing
- Terrorist hijacking
- Poor communication with other aircraft or air traffic controllers
