CHARACTERISTICS OF INVESTIGATION OF AVIATION ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY EXPLOSIVE DEVICES

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents a somewhat specific topic of aviation accidents. Although statistically the safest mode of transportation, air traffic is still not immune to the accident. Today, the causes of accidents are diverse, but this paper has given special attention to those caused by explosive devices. History unfortunately offers numerous examples of aviation accidents with the explosives as the primary cause of such accidents and several examples are presented in this paper. The examples are described in detail and divided so as to describe the accidents caused by explosive devices aboard as well as projectiles fired from the ground. The analysis of such accidents is quite specific as it brings together experts from criminalistics, criminology, forensics, ballistics, medicine and other related sciences, and uses techniques from their respected branches.This paper individually presents what are the basic indicators, during accident investigation, pointing to an explosive device or projectile as the major cause of an accident.
