- 1973 Paris Air Show crash: A Tupolev Tu-144 crashes at the Paris air show. The aircraft had been heavily modified compared to the initial prototype, featuring engine nacelles split on either side of the fuselage, landing gear that retracted into the nacelles, and retractable foreplanes.[9] The crash occurred in front of 250,000 people, including designer Alexei Tupolev, towards the end of the show, following a display by the pre-production Concorde aircraft. The aircraft appears to be making a landing approach, with the landing gear out and the "moustache" foreplanes extended, but then engages all four engines and climbs rapidly. Possibly stalling below 2,000 ft (610 m), the aircraft pitches over and goes into a steep dive. Trying to pull out of the subsequent dive with the engines again at full power, the Tu-144 breaks up in mid-air, destroying 15 houses,[10] and killing all six people on board the Tu-144 and eight more on the ground. Three children are among the dead, and sixty people are severely injured.
