Over the past two months, global aviation safety has come under scrutiny due to a series of unusual and deadly incidents involving commercial airplanes and army helicopters. Notably, accidents have occurred in several countries, including the United States, raising alarms about air traffic control staffing and the implications for passenger trust and safety. Travelers are increasingly anxious, with many, like Jaimee Rindy, expressing intensified fears of flying. Experts shed light on the dangers and the ways passengers can potentially enhance their safety during emergencies, as public concerns about aviation evolve.
It's difficult to feel safe when you're completely out of control and when you really have no sense of what's happening while you're in the aircraft.
With each incident, video footage circulates near instantaneously and widely online, traumatizing more travelers, who say that the recent spate of airplane incidents has amplified their flight anxieties.
Ultimately, that's the scariest part of being a passenger. It's that loss of trust in the industry.
Is flying getting more dangerous? And what, if anything, can passengers actually do to stay safer during an emergency?
