*[[Air Transat Flight 961]], an [[Airbus A310]], on 6 March 2005, catastrophic structural failure: the rudder detached from the aircraft with a loud bang and the aircraft began a [[dutch roll]]. The pilots regained enough lateral control, albeit with difficulty, to land the aircraft safely at Varadero-Juan Gualberto Gomez Airport.<ref>[http://www.bst.gc.ca/eng/rapports-reports/aviation/2005/a05f0047/a05f0047.pdf Flight 961 – Official accident report]. www.bst.gc.ca Retrieved: 1 June 2010</ref>
*[[National Airlines Flight 102]], a [[Boeing 747]] experienced a [[load shift]], damaging the [[aft pressure bulkhead]], severing the hydraulic lines that controlled the [[elevator (aeronautics)|elevators]]. This disabled the elevators, which were stuck in a pitch-up attitude. This caused the plane to [[stall (fluid dynamics)|stall]] and crash, killing all 7 occupants on board.
