The first multiple fatality airplane accident in history happened at Centocelle, near Rome, when Lt. Enrico Cammarota and Private S. Castellani became the 26th and 27th people to die in a plane crash
After a day of frequent and very successful flights, Lieutenant Cammarota, wanted to make another flight in the aircraft and taking with him Castellani, an excellent mechanic, who, one of the many attached of the school, had not yet had the satisfaction of making a flight.
The aircraft rose very well, making two or three circles, at just over twenty metres in altitude, but the observers, officers and soldiers, noticed, in a last lap that the tail of the aircraft dropped. Then suddenly, in a turn, the aircraft was seen to swerve to the right and fall, and, in an instant the aircraft crashed to the ground. The two occupants were found still alive, but during the journey from Centocelle, to the military hospital, they passed away.
