It's a crazy accomplishment really, unimaginable how safe US commercial airplanes have been in the last two decades

So sad that streak finally ended



As someone working in aviation safety, this is heartbreaking and awful to watch. The efforts of CAST and ASIAS in reducing aviation safety accidents have been very successful, but of course we still have so much to do.


There have been incidents that were just saved by luck (eg losing door in flight). And Too many near misses.


Better a near miss than a catastrophic incident.


And in such an avoidable way, too.
