History's Most Dangerous Aircraft Models

The ATR 72

Aviation expert Alex Murel consistently warned pilots of the ATR 82. He claimed that it was "ancient" in its design and that the entire fleet was crumbling before their eyes. The reason the plane was still in service was because of its feasible turboprops, but he claimed that it just wasn't worth it. 11 of the 508 models had crashed killing 200 people before it was retired.
