Do planes fall more often?

After high profile disasters, some social networkers suggested that air travel accidents were being more frequent.

Misses’s hair collection videos began online and the US transport secretary wanted to reassure the fears of the BBC in an interview with CBS News. The audience said the last space of the latest American disasters in America was “very special”.

Duffy’s intervention came after several serious events, including the central air collision in January between a commercial aircraft and military helicopter In Washington DC, in which 67 people died.

Toronto, image of an aircraft that is flipping after landing in bad weather. They also share the network, increase the alarm.

While the subject is limited to the subject, a last press survey proposed these amazing images of accidents Influenced US consumer trust Fly.

But checking BBC has analyzed data in the US and worldwide and has been a general descending trend over the last two decades in air accidents.

For the United States, the Air-Accidental Figures have been collected by the National Transport Security Committee (NTSB) at the end of this year.

This NTSB data from 2005 to 2024 shows the overall fall of US air accidents during this period despite a major increase in the general number of flights during this period. It shows that January 2025 (52) was less than in January (58) and January 2023 (70).

Data from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the UN data controlled by global air event drivers, the number of accidents around the world have also seen a million net downward trends between 2005 and 2023.

The ICAO’s definition of aircraft accident is very wide and not only passengers or crews are seriously injured or killed, a plane is damaged and repairs must be made, or they are not missing.

The data on the number of death accidents have also been reduced all over the world, despite the spikes in a few years, reflects important air disasters.

In 2014, two such events made a significant spike.

In running, Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 disappeared from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people. In July, MH17 Másia Airlines aircraft, a Russian missile in East Ukraine, killed almost 300.

Such data sets, such as Sir David Spiegelhalter, Sir David Spiegelhalter, has said Emergency teacher at the University of Cambridge, to verify BBC.

“It is very volatile and sensitive than accidental accidents than accidents, with a single large accident,” he said.

“Random events don’t happen in the same way, they have clusters. So unfortunately we hope that the aircraft accidents are connected, even if they are not.”

In recent months, in recent months, ismo Aaltonen, major Air disaster researchers, BBC has checked that there are no decline in aircraft security.

“It is very unfortunate that we had a variety of accidents, but people do not need to draw conclusions because they are such cases,” he said.

It was aware that some events are not predicted in the last few months, referring to Azerbaiáan Airline flight in December in Kazakhstan Being directed by Russian missiles against aircraft.

Marco Chan, Buckinghamshire Bikinghamshire and a senior higher teacher said BBC has verified that increasing air disaster awareness is further fed that “accidents are increasing from social networking platforms”.

A video that circulates in Tiktok – which came out of a Superman movie – the hero prevents the breakage of a jet with a stadium. Along with the clip, the caption is: “Pete Buttigieg in the last four years, they judge current events.” The viral clip suggests that airplane disasters have moved away from the former US transport secretary in January.

An event in recent years by Boeing 737 Max Aircraft has also attracted great care in the media and social networks, especially after A door came out of the middle of flight In January 2024.

To this end, many other events saw Boeing aircraft manufactured by Boeing and collapsed by the company’s share price.

Experts say BBC check these failures and important events that authorities are deeply investigated. Accident details and new data are fed by pilot training simulators to prepare for similar scenarios in the future.

“If you examine simulators today, how advanced, they are like real aircraft,” Ismo Aaltonen said. “When I started flying over 40 years ago it is completely different.”

Regulators can also impose sanctions for safety violations, including fine, suspension of license and operating restrictions. Airports can also be banned from countries and blocks if they do not comply with safety regulations.

Despite the last space of the incident, air trips remain away from the safest form of travel.

From all deaths associated with transport in the US in 2022, more than 95% occurred, according to the last figures of the US Department of Transport. Were less than 1% related to air travel.

If it looks at the fatalities of each traveled distance, the comparative safety of air travel is also clearer.

In 2022, 0.001 The death of the number of passengers was only 100,000 miles per air vehicle, compared to the number of visitors, has been a non-profit organization in the United National Security Council.

“Be careful how you travel to your airport,” Aaltonen said. “That’s the most dangerous part of the trip compared to the real flight.”
