Accidents

• American Eagle flight 4184 crashed due to icing on October 31, 1994 in Roselawn, Indiana. The accident had a significant effect on deicing procedures in the United States, as well as American Airlines' utilization of turboprop aircraft in specific geographical areas.
• On 11 October 1999, an Air Botswana captain boarded an ATR-42 aircraft and took off. Once in the air, he asked by radio to speak to the president, Air Botswana's general manager and others. In spite of all attempts to persuade him to land and discuss his grievances, he stated he was going to crash into some planes on the apron. After a flying time of about 2 hours, he did two loops and then crashed at 200 knots (230 mph) into Air Botswana's two other ATR-42s parked on the apron. The captain was killed but there were no other casualties. He had been grounded on medical reasons, refused reinstatement and regrounded until February 2000.[1]
• On May 9, 2004 an American Eagle Super ATR, flight 5401, crash-landed in San Juan, Puerto Rico when one of the tires blew. Seventeen people were injured, but there were no fatalities.
• On August 6, 2005, an ATR 72 from Bari, Italy, on its way to Djerba, Tunisia, crashed into the Mediterranean Sea about 18 miles from the city of Palermo, during an emergency sea landing. 16 of the 39 on board died. The plane was operated by Tuninter, an affiliate of Tunisair, the national airline of Tunisia. The reason for the crash was engine fuel starvation, a contributing reason was the installation of wrong fuel quantity indicators. Maintenance had installed an ATR42 indicator in this ATR72.
