We do indeed seem to be having a particularly bad year. It's only February of 2025 and there's been more than double the total deaths than in the past decade


Deaths don't trickle in individually... one incident causes a huge surge. Any year with a single commercial airline crash is going to be a "particularly bad year"

Not minimizing these tragedies, they are real and hopefully there are some concrete actions we can take to make crashes even more rare. But its also true that your statistical analysis is poor.


Yes but we've had 2 major accidents in/over the US and it's only February


This must be commercial only too


Is Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 missing?


As far as I know, it still is.

(Sorry, could not resist...)


Not US.


Neither is the crash discussed here so it's odd list only US fatalities.
