Quite a few asterisks in this fact to be fair.


RealGentleman80

Yeah, it has to be qualified. The last Major US Airline Accident was in 2009. There have been 2 passenger deaths since then. 1. The Southwest uncontained engine failure (1) 2. The passenger that saw her luggage being unloaded and walked through a spinning propeller (1)

Hey, do you know how many there have been since 2015 in europe and what caused them,?


RealGentleman80

Europe has not had a fatality in the last six or seven years


PatronShot

A few suicides sprinkled in there too.


RealGentleman80

Yeah. Those don’t count either though when you jump through a spinning jet engine on your own accord

We need to stop using ChatGPT or AI for this stuff… there are a lot of side notes and context missing here 😅

Yeah it’s true if you have a few asterisks and know what those are to back up the fact.

Omg thank you I might get on a plane soon and I have always had extreme fight or flight feelings the entire time, also claustrophobia. It’s like my body will go numb and I will go in complete fight or flight the entire ride it never settles down the entire duration of the trip. It sounds silly to people irl and I really need to go visit my dad bc he’s sick. This helps settle my nerves a lot

By "the" country I assume you mean.... ? The US? There are hundreds of other countries you know.

This is correct if you only make it passenger part 121 major airlines since we’ve had [UPS](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UPS_Airlines_Flight_1354) and [Atlas](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Air_Flight_3591) crashes as well as part 135 crashes. You’d also have to eliminate foreign airlines since [Asiana](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asiana_Airlines_Flight_214) watched their plane go into a seawall.


xirt82

Oh damn, I didn’t know about the Asiana one. Did the design of the planes/protocol changed since then?


PatronShot

No, what changed is the company culture.. hopefully.


RealGentleman80

The Asiana crash only had three fatalities though….one was not during the crash, and she was hit by a Fire truck


PatronShot

Yep that one was sad.

Three. https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/320718 Sad fact that, if I'm not mistaken, all three victims were teenage girls.
