You’re probably going to read about yet another plane crash…this time, in Alaska.
As someone in the travel industry, in many air crew chats, who’s been traveling the world since I was a kid…allow me to put it very bluntly:
💯 It's Alaska. Small plane crashes happen up there, the same way cars crash in the continental US. Teens get pilot licenses before they get driver’s licenses because of the terrain.
📛 Unless a lot of people are killed, or someone famous is involved, it rarely gets reported. The ONLY reason it is making your local news is because of the mid-air collision at Reagan and the Lear crash in Philadelphia.
⛔️There’s nothing going on. If you look at the NTSB statistics, there were always a lot of small aircraft crashes across the world every month. The report for the month of Jan 2024 shows 92 aircraft accidents, 30 were fatal or serious injuries.
📵 People are just posting them more often because of the volatile political climate and social media availability.
✈️ Do not change your travel plans. Don’t cancel your flights.
🆘 You are about 4,000 times more likely to die in a car than in a plane (1 in 101 for car, versus 1 in 11 Million for plane).
🛟 HAPPY AND SAFE TRAVELING!
