The ATR 72
The ATR was a catastrophe of note, leaving in its nearly 200 people losing their lives. Out of 508 models, 11 crashed, which led to 200 deaths. Before being laid to rest by the American eagle, Alex Murel adamantly warned pilots not to fly the ATR, which he correctly believed was outdated in its design and features, as the entire collection was starting to fall apart. He sympathized with how feasible turboprops were when it came to special operations, however, the ancient technology was putting such a massive strain on the planes.
