Since 2025 began, there have already been 87 plane crashes, and the count keeps increasing with each past week it seems. One of them being an incredibly violent and horrible crash between a plane and a helicopter killing 67 People. Compared to 2023 with only a meager 30 crashes that year, the number of crashes is already absurdly larger and counting. So is there a reason behind the sudden switch in safety, or is it just coincidence?

The most recent crash was in Toronto by Delta Airlines this past Monday, February 17. The plane suddenly flipped over; breaking the right wing and setting it ablaze when landing on the runway. Luckily it wasn’t a fatal crash, but it is alarming to witness the vast amount of crashes that have been happening. At this point, it’s making us wonder if it’s truly safe to travel.

But the question this all brings us to is: why exactly is this all happening? As presented, it is shown as merely coincidental; however, the amount has many people questioning if there is a root cause of these disasters. Nevertheless, the amount of crashes that have happened seems to be too large for the reason to be as simple as that. If the trend continues, we can only hope the reason will present itself to avoid further tragedy.
