    Pretty striking - I’d add a title to the top and the source in the lower right. Would make it much more shareable.

    Edit: And a note about 2025 only being up to February 17th. Because the graph may outlive the next Delta flight week.

    There seems to be a lot of talk around airplane crashes these days, so I decided to figure out how bad it really was

    Data from https://asn.flightsafety.org/ and plotted using pyplot

    2025 Data is only until February 17th

      So, it’s pretty impressive what you put in the graph, but what the fuck you think it’s happening?

      EDIT: Sorry, I didn’t want to come across as ungrateful, it’s just too damn weird.

    Of the 85 this year, 79% (67) were from one crash.

    Yet the Jan. 29 crash in Washington that killed 67 people is the only fatal commercial aviation crash in 2025 and in the past 15 years.

    Y’all thinking this is meaningful have the memory of a goldfish.
