Travelling on air isn't that easy and it is better the planes undergo a technical and mechanical check-up before they commence a journey. At times weather conditions as fog and mist cause accidents in the air and also terrorist setups. All these must be checked on to ensure safe travels. Remember we keep on losing lives each day in very technical ways.

This might be as a result of mechanical problems and or whether changes.A big loss indeed.

The major cause of air accidents is the unpredictable weather; a lot of activities also take place on air so it can be a difficult task to predict the real cause of air accidents.
