Important Notice: This database is a personal compilation of information gathered from the public domain, incident reports, and personal communications. Although efforts have been made to verify details, accuracy is not guaranteed. There may be omissions, errors, and it is incomplete.

This information serves to remember the facts, understand the causes, and help prevent future incidents.

Acknowledgment: This database is built upon the extensive research and compilation work of Tim Cheshire, who has dedicated significant time and effort to documenting these incidents from public domain sources, incident reports, and personal communications. His meticulous work preserving this history ensures these incidents - and the lessons they teach - are not forgotten.
