1995
 An Azeri Airlines Boeing 707 cargo plane crashed while approaching the Baku, Russia airport. One crew
 member was killed

1996
        An Air Canada DC-9 jetliner lost power in one engine as it was taking off from the Palm Beach   International Airport in Florida. Passengers reported hearing two loud bangs before the plane was able to return to the airport and land safely. The engine probably sucked in a rock or bird, thus causing it to fail

1997
 An airline passenger who had jokingly claimed to have explosives in his carry-on bag pled guilty to endangering the safety of an aircraft. During an October, 1996, USAir flight, Richard Josephson jokingly said, "Gee, be careful. That's where I keep my pipe bombs," while an attendant placed his bag in an overhead compartment. Later, when he fell asleep after taking sleeping pills and couldn't be awakened, the crew believed the bomb threat to be real and, thus, made an emergency landing at the Dayton, Ohio airport. Eight of the passengers were injured during the emergency evacuation. Federal prosecuters recommended that Josephson be sentenced to six months in prison, and the judge also considered ordering Josephson to pay for the expense of the emergency landing

1998
 A Northwest Airlines DC-9 on a flight from Minneapolis to Chicago had to make an emergency landing at Rochester, Minnesota when smoke began to fill the cockpit. The smoke was caused by an electrical fire

1998
 The TCAS computer responsible for helping airplanes to avoid collisions actually led to a near collision between a Northwest Airlines Airbus A-320 jet and an Air Ontario de Havilland Dash 8-100 commuter plane. The onboard TCAS of the Air Ontario flight warned the pilots to climb to avoid a US Airways Boeing 737 jet that was taking off from Albany, New York. At the same time, the TCAS of the Northwest Airlines jet ordered the pilots to dive. As a result, the planes came very close to each other, so close, in fact, that the targets merged on radar scopes at the Nashua, New Hampshire air traffic control center. Only the quick intervention of an air traffic controller prevented a possible collision
