You know I was in the Navy and I worked on airplanes and of course we went down to the aircraft carrier to go overseas. We did not have one accident at all.

1. Military Helicopter hits plane. everyone perishes. Washington DC.

2. Airlift medical plane goes down. everyone perishes. including a person on the street. Philadelphia.

3. Flight 445 from Unalakleet to Nome, Alaska went missing 10 minutes before arrival. Wreckage found 34 miles from Nome in the Bering Sea. All perished.

4. A plane viewed off the runway crashed into a park plane. One person now non-living, for others injured. Scottsdale, Arizona.

That’s so far five airplane crashes in 2025. The last time there was a deadly airplane crash in the US was in 2009.
To date 85 people perished due to these crashes and it’s only February 12, 2025!!!

Planes acting like crashing is the latest TikTok trend

[anthonysmith]

The frequency of these occurrences is frightening

Thank God it hit the water and not the houses like happened 20 years ago. I was living in San Diego at the time and I remember a fighter jet crashing into a home, killing a mother and son inside. I remember the father/husband being escorted to see the ruins and he was absolutely shattered. An image I will never forget.
