Oxygen generators caused an airplane crash

ValuJet Flight 592 crashed in Florida on May 11, 1996, causing the death of the 110 people on board. The accident was caused by chemical oxygen generators transported illegally in the cargo hold, which caught fire and destroyed the flight controls. The company ValuJet then changed its name to AirTran Airways to erase the consequences of this disaster on its brand image.
