My idea has landed... or should i say crashed. Because thats what my idea is all about, plane crashes! This should be a very rare, but extremely serious event, which ranges from quite common emergency landings and bird strikes (~1 per month, per plane, if in use 12 hours per day (just guesstimating the odds)), to massive disasters worthy of a double special Mayday episode, with 1000+ people killed (once per 20-40 years). These would, depending on the seriousness, significantly decrease your reputation. Structural failure should be more common in older planes, while mid-air collisions should be more common at smaller airports. The plane crashes could be as follows:
Pilot error
ATC Error
Hijacking
Shootdowns
Bird strikes (not very likely to cause fatalities)
Fuel exhaustion (it could be because of anything really)
Mid-air collision (potentially bringing down 2 aircraft)
Engine failure (flameouts, contained and uncontained)
Fire
Bombs
Structural failure
And even aircraft that goes missing.
And thats pretty much it.
