Commercial airliners are one of the fastest and safest ways to travel. They’re the best way for celebrities to perform, meet fans, and attend events across the globe.

Several celebrities entered a plane or helicopter without realizing they were putting their lives and the lives of the passengers beside them on the line.

Some celebrity plane crashes became famous, such as the “Day the Music Died” and the crash that killed several members of rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. Others may not be as well-known but are equally as tragic. No celebrity is immune to the crushing blow of an airplane crash. It’s touched the lives of sports figures, politicians, music legends, and more. Those who survived look back on the events with bittersweet gratitude, while those who did not will be remembered forever for their work and contributions to their communities.
