List of sole survivors of aviation accidents and incidents
This list does not include initial survivors who later died (possibly in another location) due to injuries sustained during the accident.Also not included are the numerous incidents of sole survivors of accidents and combat losses related to heavy bombers during World War II which frequently had ten or more crewmembers.On 17 March 1929, as the pilot of a Jersey sightseeing flight, he attempted to force land the monoplane when it suffered an engine failure shortly after takeoff.It was unsuccessful, however, as the aircraft slammed into a sand filled steel railroad car, killing all 13 in the cabin and a person in the cockpit.The oldest sole survivor is Alexander Sizov, who was 52 years old when YAK-Service Flight 9633 crashed on 7 September 2011, with 44 fatalities.
