Are Planes Becoming More Dangerous? (an amateur take no one asked for)

(images of recent crashes below cut)

This is a frankly lukewarm take on the situation but I have so many thoughts about the recent aviation incidents and I need to share them. Also, if you want an actual explanation for this from someone within the industry, I would reccomend checking out Mentor Pilot's video on the situation. I should also note that I have no background in aviation aside from research in my free time. I am a history major, do not take my word for anything. However, this is my Tumblr blog and I can do whatever I want forever, actually.

Now for my opinions:

Although it's true that there has been a slight increase in fatal incidents from 2024-2025, few of them really share any similarities. A majority of the incidents contributing to this statistic come from civil aviation. There are a number of reasons why civil aviation has seen this major increase but for the average commercial flyer, it is not something that should make you nervous to board your next flight. As for the major accidents in commercial aviation over these past few months (Dec 2024-Feb 2025), I will breifly cover each here:*

*no final reports have been released for these accidents and thus, I will do my best to limit my speculations to their causes

23 December, 2024: Swiss Air Lines Flight 1885

International flight from OTP to ZRH

Airbus 220-300 (2017)

Used two Pratt and Whitney PW1524G-3 engines

Experienced an engine failure at 40,000 leading to smoke entering the cabin and an emergency landing at GRZ

Of the 79 occupants, there was one fatality of a crew member and 16 injuries due to smoke inhalation

25 December, 2024: Azerbaijan Airlines FLight 8243

International flight from GYD to GRV

Embraer 190AR (Advanced Range)

Used two General Electric CF34-10E6 engines

Hit by a Russian surface-to-air missile (or debris from a surface-to-air or different missile or weapon) while flying through Russian airspace, leading to an attempted emergency landing at SCO

Crashed on landing

Out of the 67 people on board, 38 died in the crash including both pilots and one flight attendant

All 29 survivors were injured

29 December, 2024: Jeju Air Flight 2216

International flight from BKK to MWX

Boeing 737-8AS

Used two CFM International CFM56-7B engines

Encountered a bird strike on approach to MWX and made an emergency go-around

The landing gear did not deploy on second approach, leading to a belly landing beyond the touchdown zone and eventually colliding with the approach lighting system and a concrete berm at the end of the runway

Of the 181 occupants, only two cabin crew members survived

28 January, 2025: Air Busan Flight 391

International flight from PUS to HKG

Airbus A321 (no relevant engine information)

During the flight, a fire started in the tail section of the plane (possibly caused by a portable charger or other lithium battery stored in the overhead bins)

The plane landed safely back at PUS with 7 minor injuries and no fatalities of the 176 passengers and crew

29 January, 2025: American Airlines Flight 5342

Domestic flight from ICT to DCA

Bombardier CRJ700 (configured as CRJ701ER) (no relevant engine information)

Collided with a U.S. Army UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter on approach to DCA while over the Potomac River

All 67 passengers and crew on both aircraft were killed

6 Feburary, 2025: Bering Air Flight 445

Domestic flight from UNK to OME

Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX

Propeller plane with one Pratt and Whitney PT6A-114A engine

Experienced a rapid loss of elevation and crashed into an ice flow in the Norton Sound

All ten passengers and crew were killed in the accident

little else is known currently about the incident

17 Feburary, 2025: Delta Connection Flight 4819

International flight from MSP to YYZ

Bombardier CRJ900 (configured as CRJ900LR)

Used two General Electric CF34-8C5 turbofan engines

Crashed and flipped over on the runway at YYZ

Right wing and T-tail seperated on impact and caught fire

All 80 passengers and crew survived with 21 injured

So what does this all mean?

As you can see, each of these incidents are incredibly different from one another and although many fear incidients like this ever since the two 737max crashes of 2019 and 2020, it is unlikely that such a structural failure will occure again. It is good to place pressure on manufacturers (Boeing, I'm looking at you) to make safety their priotity over profit, however, commercial aviation has been safer than ever. Even though 2025 started off with some horrible tragedies, the average flyer should be able to take a flight with the peace of mind that these events are still incredibly unlikely and because of these incidents, the aviation industry has become even safer. So no, actually, planes have not become more dangerous recently. Media coverage of aviation incidents has increased signifigantly since the 737max crashes and this has made the public more aware of them which in turn often creates the false illusion that aviation incidents are happening more frequently, which they aren't really. Overall, commercial aviation is a very safe industry with rigorous regulations and investigative boards that improve every day.

:3 ! some silly plane doodles ... human aus and etcetera ...

Logan but erik is also there

i need more fics that have this concept, i’ve read nearly all the ones i’ve found with this but i’m greedy so i require more

caliban just having to deal with three old ass mutants

since erik’s in his nineties i’m giving him a walker

and you know what HEARING LOSS

“Erik can you pass the salt?”

“WHAT??”

“the salt, Erik”

“WHAT??????”

he refuses to using hearing aids for some reason

him and charles sleep together but sometimes charles forgets who he is and freaks out about the stranger in his bed

erik has a spare bed in the ‘house’ when that happens

once laura comes along and they escape in the limo charles keeps going like “this reminds me of October 1962” the fact he even remembers that is crazy

when they’re in the hotel, laura shows erik her xmen comics while they watch movies until of course when the humans break in and charles has a seizure 🙁

i feel like erik would be the kind of old guy to go “back in my day!”

grandpa magneto naps

when they meet that family charles references erik as his husband

i cant tell whether i want this to be a fix-it or not

fuck it lets go down the angst path

x-24 still manages to kill charles and temporarily kidnap laura, magneto got his ass beat ☹️

beach divorce reference, erik cradling charles in his arms

they bury charles

erik refuses to leave the grave so logan and laura keep going

and that would be probably the last we see of erik

i’m gonna say he does die, maybe of old age he deserves a natural death like that

lets say someone sees an unconscious old man near a fresh grave and takes him to that hospital laura took logan where erik maybe passes in his sleep

boom kinda sad ending

and of course Logan ending for logan and laura

just imagine erik is also there or something ^^

It drives me insane when I see people saying Percy could beat Jason in a true head to head battle because guysssssssssss. You can't use Kronos as an example. Percy didn't even defeat him - Luke did. And Percy needed the Curse of Achilles to stay alive.

Jason defeated a Titan on his own with no powerup! Jason has been training since he was two! Jason was raised by wolves! It's not his fault RR just loves to KO blonde boys for some reason.

i have lived so many lives today

[joeeatsdvds]

i’m sorry but kate being thrown into the wall while dancing with the toymaker is just so god damn funny i wasn’t expecting it at all

[anawkwardlady]

You’ve heard of people rawdogging planes (no distraction just looking around) but I think my mom half rawdogging it and then naturally pulling out her bible for the rest of it has a more special energy to it.

No one should take what I say to seriously. At the end of the day I’m a guy whose diet only consists of london fogs and turkey sandwiches

[vampz-on-the-block]

mmmm. yummy horus. yummm

[slightlytoastedbagel]

actually On Your Feet gave us two good things (well. three if you like Realize which I do). Kohane's "it's frustrating" line and the great crack fic idea of Vivid Bad Squad getting cancelled online for skipping school to yell at The Kotaki Taiga as he was about to go back to America.

main blog @number1spongebobfan

This is an ask blog for my humanizations of cartoon vehicles!

Such as these:

You can ask how the humanoids work, or you can talk to them :>

Or you can ask a character for me to draw that I've never drew before.

rules:

NO INNAPROPRIATE ASKS!

I'm not going to answer every single question. I have a main blog to keep up with and also life, so yeah.

anonymous asks only please.

I'm not going to draw characters from All Engines Go and Big World Big Adventures. I don't like those shows

I'm also not gonna draw ripoffs (stuff made from Video Brinquedo or something)

simple questions please, nothing too deep. Talk to them like you would to a child.

that's it o.o (this blog is way more lax than my other one)

bai

idk why but im literally a sucker for the trope of /not being able to say i love you/ until it accidentally slips out. and itd be even funnier to me if johnny were to first to slip up after 2 years of dating like

'youre a fuckin nightmare on that goddamn bike. drive save val. love you'

'... what?'

'what?'

'did you just say 'i love you'?'

'no i didnt.'

'yes u did.'

'no i didnt.'

'yes u did.'

'no i didnt.'

'... k whatever lol love u too!!!'

and it just becomes a bit to theatrically exclaim I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! in a shakespearan way because these two can only ever express their sincerest feelings through 10 filters of irony until that novelty finally wears off :")

He's surprisingly productive, but nobody is praising him...
