The Tupolev TU-144
The Russians made this futuristic supersonic transport aircraft. It was the only one, aside from the Concorde, to go into commercial service. It can go 1,200 mph but has seen a lot of failures in the past. People avoided it as much as possible because it was unreliable and failed to perform many times. It also made so much noise that people seated beside each other needed to pass notes to each other to communicate. The final flight happened in 1978 and suffered a fuel tank valve failure.

The ATR 72
Alex Murel told people to avoid flying the ATR 72s before American Eagle retired a fleet of it. “Its massively outdated, and the existing fleet is really starting to fall apart,” he said. “I understand that turboprops can be more cost-efficient for some flights, but these are old and feel like they’re shaking the plane apart. 11 of the 508 built have been destroyed in crashes that resulted in the deaths of over 190 people.”
