The idea of an event \u2018falling\u2019 remains in the English word, befall. Later the meaning of accident evolved into \u2018something that happens by chance\u2019, as in the phrase \u2018a happy accident\u2019, and by the 17th century the modern meaning had become established in the language.<\/p>\n<p>The full form of the proverb \u2018accidents will happen\u2019, which dates from the early 19th century, is \u2018accidents will happen in the best-regulated families. According to Mr Micawber in Charle\u2019s Dickens\u2019 David Copperfield (1850), \u2018Accidents will occur in the best-regulated families; and in families not regulated by\u2026 the influence of Wamon, in the lofty character of Wife, they must be expected with confidence, and must be borne with philosophy\u2019.

The term \u201ccrash,\u201d on the other hand, is more specific in terms of the action\u2019s outcome without the unpreventable implication.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deadliest aircraft accidents and incidents (Deaths: Date of Incident \u2013 Location):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>583: 27 March 1977 \u2013 Tenerife airport disaster Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain<br \/>520: 12 August 1985 \u2013 Japan Air Lines Flight 123 Ueno, Japan<br \/>349: 12 November \u2013 1996 Charkhi Dadri mid-air collision Charkhi Dadri, Haryana, India<br \/>346: 3 March 1974 \u2013 Turkish Airlines Flight 981 Fontaine-Chaalis, France<br \/>301: 19 August 1980 \u2013 Saudia Flight 163 Riyadh, Saudi Arabia<br \/>298: 17 July 2014 \u2013 Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 Hrabove, Ukraine<br \/>290: 3 July 1988 \u2013 Iran Air Flight 655 Bandar Abbas, Iran<br \/>275: 19 February 2003 \u2013 Ilyushin Il-76 crash Kerman, Iran<br \/>273: 25 May 1979 \u2013 American Airlines Flight 191 Des Plaines, Illinois, United States<br \/>269: 1 September 1983 \u2013 Korean Air Lines Flight 007 Sea of Japan, west of Sakhalin, Soviet Union<br \/>265: 12 November 2001 \u2013 American Airlines Flight 587 Queens, New York, United States<\/p>\n<p>This article is one in a series of articles on the <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/tag\/oewp\/\">Origins of English Words and Phrases<\/a>.
