What this page shows, and what it misses
Two separate records, never added together. Wikidata: every item classed as an aviation accident (or a kind of one, such as a helicopter crash, mid-air collision or runway excursion) with a date in 1994, with the death toll, country, operator and aircraft as entered there. It favours larger, widely reported accidents, and new entries appear days or weeks after a crash.
Neither is an official world total, and the two counts differ because they count different things. For US civil aviation alone, the NTSB's CAROL accident database lists every accident it investigates, most of them small private aircraft.
Aviation accident data: Wikidata (CC0 public domain), from its structured fields only. Crash reports: Global Incident Tracker.
QuestionsPlane crashes in 1994

Why do different sites give different numbers of plane crashes?
Because they count different things. Some count only airliner accidents, some every accident of a small private plane, some only those with deaths. Wikidata lists accidents that someone has added as a structured item, which favours larger and widely reported crashes. Global Incident Tracker counts crash reports it picked up from news and official feeds. For the United States alone, the NTSB investigates over a thousand civil aviation accidents a year, most of them small private aircraft.
