We’ve had 3 plane crashes taking 5 or more lives in 1 month of trump, whereas that rate was 7 in the whole of 2024 which was a particularly deadly year. Or we had 15 plane crashes with 7 or more deaths in these 6 years and 20% of those happened in this very month.
I mean, he really has. None in 16 years, then something like 8 in under 2 months?
It’s still a tiny fraction of the some 100k daily commercial flights, but it’s still alarming .
None in 16 years? Maybe no airliners, but there have been plenty of small planes crashes in North America. They’re pretty dangerous.
You’re correct. Guess that’s what I get for regurgitating info that I haven’t vetted myself. I think the jist of my post still stands, though.
Between Jan 1, 2010 and Jan 1, 2024, there were only 2 large passenger airplane incidents, with a total of 4 deaths between them.

True, but the rate is indeed alarming.

But need not to worry, we’ll know when the pattern becomes obvious because that’s when FAA’s accident reporting system will go offline. https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-main-public/query-builder
