The first recorded plane crash occurred on September 17, 1908, when Orville Wright crashed a Wright Flyer at Fort Myer, Virginia, during a demonstration flight for the U.S. Army. The crash resulted in the death of Lieutenant Thomas Selfridge, who became the first person to die in a powered airplane crash. This event marked a significant milestone in aviation history, highlighting the risks and challenges associated with early flight experimentation.
