The 7 Greatest Plane Mysteries

From Politico:

1. Air France Flight 447 (2009)

If the Malaysian jet has crashed, this incident could be most similar to a deadly 2009 accident involving an Air France Airbus A330 that disappeared over the Atlantic en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris.

2. TWA Flight 800 (1996)

The Boeing 747 was bound for Europe when it exploded and crashed shortly after taking off from JFK International Airport, killing all 230 people on board.

3. EgyptAir Flight 990 (1999)
