The plane was approaching Boca Raton Airport with “mechanical issues,” according to Boca News Now. Fire rescue was reportedly on “alert” as the plane was nearing the airport. “A small... plane has crashed int he area of Military Trail and Glades Road… Three people are now reported dead. The crash happened near Boca Raton Regional Airport,” the outlet reported.show more

Mechanical issues? What kind? Democrats are pouncing on these crashes to say they’re Trump’s fault. That’s a bad move.

House task force investigators revealed new information about the shooter who tried to assassinate presidential candidate Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, and unearthed new mysteries about the July 13 attack.

In 2023 there were 197 fatal aviation crashes and 1,017 non-fatal crashes. Hardly any of them were reported. What changed?

It seems that this is happening way too frequently these days

Small planes crash everyday. Why is the media pushing these stories. Wouldn’t be fear would it?

The data over the last 10 years seems to suggest the number of crashes has remained fairly static for those blaming the government cuts Exact numbers of aircraft crashes vary depending on definitions (e.g., commercial vs. general aviation, fatal vs. non-fatal) and sources (NTSB, FAA, or global databases like ACRO). Below is an approximation based on available data, focusing primarily on the U.S. for consistency, with global context where relevant. I’ll stick to total crashes (fatal and non-fatal) where possible, as the question doesn’t specify a type. - **2024**: ~1,400 U.S. crashes (258 fatal, per some reports). Globally, ~150-170 incidents, continuing a safer trend. - **2023**: ~1,300 U.S. crashes. Globally, a record low for commercial aviation, with ~120-140 incidents. - **2022**: 1,277 U.S. crashes (358 deaths). Globally, ~130-150 incidents. - **2021**: 1,220 U.S. crashes (373 deaths). Globally, ~140-160 incidents. - **2020**: ~1,100 U.S. crashes (COVID reduced flights). Globally, ~120-140 incidents. - **2019**: ~1,300 U.S. crashes. Globally, ~150-170 incidents. - **2018**: ~1,250 U.S. crashes. Globally, ~160-180 incidents. - **2017**: ~1,200 U.S. crashes. Globally, ~150-170 incidents. - **2016**: ~1,250 U.S. crashes. Globally, ~160-180 incidents. - **2015**: ~1,300 U.S. crashes. Globally, ~170-190 incidents. **Notes**: U.S. numbers come from NTSB estimates, covering all civil aviation (commercial and general). Global figures, less precise, draw from ACRO and similar databases, typically excluding minor incidents or non-commercial flights. Commercial crashes are rare (~20-30/year globally), while general aviation dominates U.S. totals. Data for 2025 (partial) suggests ~100 crashes by February, but it’s too early for a full count.

The CEO of Siemens and his family were just in a helicopter tragedy…. I smell an electrical hacking conspiracy 😳😞

Seriously WTH is going on lately?!

@CollinRugg maybe I’m thinking outside the box but since mostly all our gear is made in China 🇨🇳 could it be that China is hacking our systems and causing these crashes as retaliation for the tariffs I would not put this behind us🤨

Rip

What the heck is going on in the aviation world?
