No.7 Air Africa Crash Year:1996
Fatalities: 2 onboard, 225-348 on the ground. Survivors: Possibly 6 onboard
This is by far the deadliest airplane accident for people on the ground. There is not a lot of information about this crash, probably because of its location and illegality. This cargo aircraft was leased from Russia, but it was being flown without a license. The plane crashed into a nearby marketplace, then exploded in a fireball, killing somewhere between 225 and 348 people, and injuring 500 more.
