So much happens behind the scenes that we aren't usually aware of. Actors get hurt, bloopers are made, and sometimes death occurs. I have compiled 6 short stories for you on deaths that happened on set involving aircrafts. Much like many other accidents some of these could've been avoided and some are just a mystery. We're going to take it back to early Hollywood in the 1920s all the way up to 2015. I hope you're ready to take off with me for this crazy adventure through time and tragedy.
