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 flightweek.Sure, how does this look
Ooh, now do some linear extrapolation. We’re gonna break some records in 2025. Too bad they’re the ones you don’t want to break.
Damn, 2020 looks good. Whatever we did that year saved a lot of lives!
Surpassing Trump’s 2nd last year in office.
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.
Another 10 came from the commercial commuter in Alaska - https://www.alaskasnewssource.com/2025/02/07/missing-plane-found-3-people-reported-dead/
Meaning there were two commercial aircraft crashes in the first 2 months of the year.
Yes, but we are still in February, and the safety issues won’t get better with shrinking numbers in air safety.
