Once is a fluke, twice is a concern, three is a trend.
- Haven't there been 4?
  I just looked it up and yeah, there have been 4 in just a few weeks: https://www.fox4news.com/news/deadly-plane-crashes-2025-timeline
  
  I would separate the ones involving major airline, and the one involving private jets/smaller planes. Alaska has the reputation to be a place where people fly without a licence (Or lost their licence due to drunk-flying but kept flying) and winter ops there sounds like a bit more extreme than regular air-lines.
  But indeed, planes aren't supposed to do barrel roll on the runaway. not sure what happened, I expect to see some interesting "air-crash investigation " video in the coming years (Yes I am too lazy to read the report by myself)
  
  This one was in Canada
- Four is politics.
  
  Five is a number.
There are claims that just before the accident, someone said on the radio: "Do a barrel roll!"
- God dammit, Peppy!
- "Trah a summersault!!"
  (Crashes)
  "... You're becoming more like your father."
Seems pretty incredible that it flipped over and lost a wing, presumably with fuel still, but everyone survived. I'm glad it's only injuries.
Imagine being such a Russian pawn that you immediately bring the aviation industry down to Russia's level.
- If you are referring to Trump as the pawn, I would like to remind you that this airport in not (yet) in the U.S., and that Pearson has its own ATC. Also, Pearson is one of the worst airports in the modern world.
  
  Good thing for my argument that the problem is most manifestly systemic and not dependent on the rating of any airport pulled out of anyone's ass. Last I checked, this time the plane didn't collide with other aircraft, so I'll give the ATCs a pass. Then again, I wasn't the one insecure enough to bring them up.
  Funny thing, when a system is stressed enough, the effects generally propagate throughout all of it as resources that would have been available in one area are dwindled in other areas. I'll let you get back to your Canada being a US state lemmy.ml fantasizing.
I see Denzel’s got his pilots license back
It's so cold right now the plane said "fuck this, you guys try keeping me warm now."
If we could have a law where only Republicans are allowed to fly, that would be nice. I'll take whatever else is left running after dufus is done fixing the US.
The Simpsons did it first
"Doug Ford is glad there were no casualties." Dude, 17 people went to the hospital, what're you talking about? Did he mean fatalities?
- There are several definitions of casualty, some mention "serious injury or death" while others refer to "death through injury, illness or violence".
  So the his statement is at the very least not obviously misleading.
- Had the same thought - casualty is definitely not the right word to use here
- Fatalities likely would have been the more correct word to use, yeah.
There is no way all these sudden crashes are a fluke. There were hardly any for last several months and now it's almost weekly.
- Do you know this from data, or just what's reported in the news?
- Not to downplay the severity of what's been happening recently (DCA, Philadelphia, and now Toronto), but what you are seeing in the news is the same thing that happened to trains after the East Palestine incident in Ohio. For months after the East Palestine incident, every major news outlet was talking about every trend derailment. There are an average of about three derailments a day in the US yet you don't really see anybody but local news covering it nowadays.
  There are incidents in aviation everyday whether there are engine failures that need to return to an airport or a runway excursion. It's just the nature of news and media, to be sensational and get as many clicks as possible. "Oh a plane's engine caught fire in Houston while on the takeoff roll! we better cover it because aviation is hot in the news!"
  
  Yes but that's not what's happening, we're losing entire airframes flying commercial flights at the rate of like one a week, the DC crash was the worst in America since 2001 and Toronto hasn't had an incident like this since 2005
  This isn't normal, it's not a case of over reporting
  
  I actually was wondering the same thing. Is everyone trying to paint a narrative or is it accidents that commonly happen, but are not reported?
- Imagine being this uninformed guy.
  
  Ah yes, the Schrodinger's crashes, if mainstream media doesn't report them, they didn't happen... I'm not stupid, they were happening before and I'm following them for years. Media could and would report them just the same under Biden. I guess Trump is just unlucky and media is biased hurr durr
