The Blackburn Botha z

The Blackburn Roc was closely followed by the Blackburn Botha and it turned out to be another wasted effort. The Blackburn suffered a series of humiliations through the greater World War II period. The Botha had been fitted with a duel-engine system and torpedoes, The Botha turned out to be a very high maintenance plane and required a whopping four pilots to be properly operated. With four pilots on board, the plane became overloaded and the torpedo armaments were disabled and the plane crashed on many occasions.

The Embraer EMB-120 Brasilia

The vintage Brasilia aircraft is considered to be one of the biggest aeronautical mistakes in all of flight history as it has claimed the lives of fourteen people. The aircraft had an exceptionally unfit engine that would shake and shudder continuously through the flight and because of that the aircraft dismembered and fell to pieces mid-air! (which caused the fourteen deaths). Despite having such a destructive history the Brasilia is still operational as a freight plane today!
