Top 10 Scariest Plane Crashes From Movies

These plane crashes from movies are made to scare or frighten us. Movies have put a lot of terrifying crashes in but these are the 10 scariest ones which shock the viewer the most. If I missed one or if you think that one of the scenes here shouldn't be included then feel free to leave a comment. I enjoy reading feedback. Anyways, here's my list.

#10 World War Z (2013)

This is a movie about a zombie apocalypse and a group of people trying to survive. There is a scene when the survivors board a plane to escape an overrun city. But it turns out that someone on the plane was infected and everyone starts getting attacked. Eventually 2 survivors throw a grenade to blow a hole in the plane so the zombies will get sucked out. They buckle up as the plane hits the ground.

#9 Fight Club 1999

Fight Club is a real trippy movie. One of the scenes involve the main character imagining a mid-air collision. When a plane hits them, the plane starts breaking apart in mid-air as the passengers start getting sucked out. Just before the scene ends, the main character says "Life insurance pays off triple if you die on a business trip". Then it turns out he imagined it. The only reason this scene is low is because it's really short.

#8 United 93 (2006)

This is a movie based on the United 93 plane during the 9/11 attacks. After the passengers get taken hostage, they decide that they have to take over the plane. Then they run up and are able to beat up 2 of the hijackers in the aisle way. They then get to the cockpit and beat up the 2 remaining hijackers. As they do it, the plane goes out of control and the movie cuts out just before the plane hits the ground.

**Note: Any comments saying "9/11 was an inside job" will get you blocked for a week. I don't want the comments to go off topic. Take your comments to an actual 9/11 conspiracy website.**

#7 Flight (2012)

Then the plane tips upside down and the roof gets ripped off. Ottway blacks out just before it crashes.

#1 Alive (1993)

This scene is made more terrifying since it's based on a true story. After a plane encounters turbulence, it collides with an uncharted mountain peak. During the collision, the wings and tail are separated from the fuselage of the plane, and the remnants of the fuselage slide down a mountain slope before coming to a complete stop. This is a hard movie to watch and the plane crash scene from the beginning terrified people greatly for years since it was based on a real incident. Everything the scene has, builds up to make this the scariest movie plane crash ever.
