Neither beautiful nor conclusive data. With such a low amount of plane crashes over such a small time scale the number of incidents could just be random fluctuations. Since only the number of fatalities is given but not the number of incidents per year, it is impossible to tell if the difference in fatalities might just be due to varying sizes of planes.
Double the usual number in one sixth the time. That's one low p value.
It's almost all from one event.
These kind of stats are too sensitive to fluctuations to view them annually like this.
This is bad days rep.
Observation: almost nobody died from planes in 2020
Conclusion: we need to start more pandemics
Maybe that's the 3D chess move that orange man did when he appointed RFK
Nah. That’s half of the plan to ‘fix’ Social Security. The other half is forcing mothers to have unwanted ~~labor~~ babies.
It’s fucking February.
Isn't this all from one event?
14 events, 5 of them with fatalities, but one accounts for the majority of them
Yes and that’s why visualizing data on issues that are so prone to noise is silly
I wonder what changed in 2025? /S
Yeah I think I'll avoid flying to the US indefinitely
My wife and I are supposed to fly to a concert in August for our anniversary, we are planning to drive now.
Open flightradar24 and see how many flights are in the air at any given point. Now...how many of them do you hear about on the news?
That should let you visualize how dangerous/safe air travel is.
Even with recent events, flying is still the safer option over driving. We're hearing about all the incidents because they are rare, but every day there are lots of automobile fatalities that it's not even reported on beyond the local market since it's common.
