As the new Madagascar movie (Escape 2 Africa) features an aviation incident, I think that a place featuring such incidents would be appropriate. Keep in mind that entire episodes of this NatGeo show are to be placed here. Since the episodes are split into multiple videos, I will list them consecutively. First up: "Deadly Glide": A passenger airlner runs out of fuel in midair. The pilots, however, successfully glide the Boeing 767 to the ground with no fatalities (unless you count the engines dying as fatalities).
Air Canada: Flight 143
Please don't let this section scare you out of the sky.

Hate bees or wasps? Here's one more reason to do so...
Watch as one wasp (a mud dauber) instantly kills 189 people simultaneously (without stinging anyone)
