The Plane Crash is a recurring plot element within the Tomb Raider Universe.

Original Plane Crash

Originally Lara survived a plane cash in the Himalayas at the age of 21, an event that changed her life forever.

On her way home from a skiing trip her chartered plane had crashed deep in the heart of the Himalayas. The only survivor, Lara learned how to depend on her wits to stay alive in hostile conditions a world away from her sheltered upbringing. 2 weeks later, when she walked into the village of Tokakeriby her experience had had a profound effect on her.
Tomb Raider booklet

In the Reboot storyline this part of Lara's background story was changed to surviving being shipwrecked on Yamatai.

Tomb Raider Legend Plane Crash

In Tomb Raider Legend the original storyline was disturbed for the first time, when the age at which Lara survived the plane crash was changed to nine.

At the age of nine, Lara survived a plane crash in the Himalayan mountains that resulted in the death of her mother. After miraculously surviving a ten-day solo trek from the crash site to Katmandu, she spent the rest of her childhood under the close tutage of her Archeologist father - the late Earl of Abbingdon, Richard Croft.

Amelia Croft's Plane Crash

In Rise of the Tomb Raider it became knowledge that even though Lara's background story had been changed apparently the plane crash referenced in Tomb Raider Legend happened, except that Amelia Croft, Lara's mother was alone in the plane, en route to Nepal to meet her husband, when she crashed in the Himalayas. Amelia survived the crash but died alone in the wilderness.

Amelia's plane... crashed in the mountains. She died alone in the snow, waiting for me to find her. Oh god, not her, not now! I cannot accept it.
