The Helgoland Island Air Disaster occurred on September 9, 1913, and is traditionally considered the first air disaster involving more than ten fatalities. A German Navy Zeppelin L-1 airship with 20 passengers and crew on board flew into a strong storm, crashing 20 miles north of Heligoland Island into the North Sea. The ship broke in two and the control car immediately sank, drowning 14 of its occupants.
