Are We Safe in the Skies? Why More Planes Are Crashing

Aviation disasters used to feel like a thing of the past. But recent plane crashes—including the first fatal commercial crash since 2001—have reignited concerns about airline safety. Many are asking: Are we safe in the skies?

Using insights from reputable books, we’ll break down what’s really happening at 30,000 feet and whether you should be worried about stepping onto your next flight.
