Too heavy, the DHC-6 Twin Otter lacks of performance after takeoff and crashes
This is a good lesson learnt showing how important it is to perform the takeoff performance calculation. This DHC-6-100 Twin Otter crashed on takeoff from the gravel airstrip at Muncho Lake, BC, Canada, on July 8th 2007. A post-impact fire erupted and the airplane was destroyed. 5 persons were onboard. One passenger was killed. Two pilots and two passengers survived the accident.
The take-off was attempted at an aircraft weight that did not meet the performance capabilities of the aircraft to clear an obstacle and, as a result, the aircraft struck a telephone pole and a telephone cable during the initial climb. And as the performance calculations were not done prior takeoff, the flight crew was unaware of the distance required to clear the telephone cable.

Amazing plane struck by lightning
An aircraft is hit by lightning once a year, in average. A plane flying up to around 20 kilometres (12 NM) from a thunderstorm may still be struck by lightning. Fortunately, the
consequences of such an impact are minor, thanks to the Faraday shield effect of the aircraft. The energy of the lightning is
distributed on the whole aircraft structure. The passengers are protected. However, the crew may be blinded a few seconds
because of the flash. It may happen that a lightning strike lead to minor damage on the aircraft structure, such as delamination of composite materials.

Strong cross-winds nearly led to a disastrous Boeing 737 landing
Prague, Czech Republic – October 4th, 2016 – Strong cross-winds nearly led to a disastrous landing at Prague’s Airport. The Boeing 737-400 operated by Air Horizont from Naples, Italy, attempted a dicey landing in Prague with crosswinds gusting at 26 kts. The aircraft is bowing back and forth as it nearly touches ground, only to pull back up at the last possible moment.
This is what happens when you miss your flare
A key maneuver for landing is called flare. The flare precedes the touchdown phase of landing. In the flare the nose of the plane is raised, slowing the descent rate and the speed, and the proper attitude is set for touchdown. The attitude is set to touchdown on the main landing gear first. Then the nose landing gear shall slowly descend to contact the runway.
This video shows what happen when the flare maneuver is missed. This Let 410 has completely missed its flare: the pilot did not pitch up before landing. Both main and nose landing gear touched the ground simultaneously. Fortunately, there were no injuries on board, but the plane was slightly damaged. It can happen to everybody to miss its landing, but the good decision in that case would have been to go around after the first bounce, and retry a cleaner landing.

Hijacked Boeing 767 crashed in Comores as it ran out of fuel
This Boeing 767-260ER belonging to Ethiopian Airlines was en route from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to Nairobi, Kenya, on November 23rd 1996. 172 passengers and crew were onboard. The plane was hijacked by three Ethiopians seeking political asylum in Australia, and asking the crew to fly to Australia.

When the nose gear did touch down, there were sparks and flames from it, but no fire started.

Wing strike : Lufthansa Airbus A320 nearly crashed during crosswind approach
An Airbus A-320 operated by the German airline Lufthansa almost crashed March 1st, 2008, in Hambourg, Germany. The plane, which was travelling from Munich
with 131 passengers aboard, faced strong crosswinds upon landing in Hamburg. In this situation, the plane has to perform a crab approach, and the aircraft
is kicked straight with the rudder just before touchdown. Actions on the sidestick are also necessary to avoid a dangerous roll. The pilot has not
compensated enough the roll, and the aircraft's left wing tip touched the ground. The plane aborted the approach before landing safely on the second
attempt. It later underwent repairs. Photos here.

B747 bumpy approach
The Hong Kong's old Kai-Tak Airport approach is not the easiest one, especially with a strong cross wind. As the procedure requests,
this Boeing 747 performs a crab approach: the rudder is used to maintain the aircraft heading, and
the aircraft is kicked straight with the rudder just before touchdown.

United Airline DC-10 crash at Sioux City airport further to total loss of hydraulic power
On July 19, 1989, this United airline DC-10 crashed at Sioux City airport (Iowa, USA).
The cause of the accident is that the fan disk of its tail-mounted engine, weakened by fatigue cracks, fragmented catastrophically, and the engine assembly failed to contain the debris which severed all three of the airplane's hydraulic systems. It had left all control surfaces on the airplane immovable. The only way to control the plane was by adjusting the thrust on the two remaining wing-mounted engines.
During the emergency landing, the right wing dropped and the nose pitched forward. The tip of the right wing contacted the runway first and the aircraft skidded to the right, ignited and somersaulted. 184 passengers survived, 112 passengers died.
