What the hell is going on with planes lately?

They go from extremely rare crashes to 4 notable crashes in less than 2 months.

We had the Boeing airmax 8 planes falling out of the sky back in 2019.

And the train crashes a couple of years ago.

Plane crashes are capturing the news cycle so we hear about every one in detail.

Yea the train crashes are fairly normal, but i think it was the cargo that had everyone noticing. They were not passanger trains. Nothing captivates the imagination like transportation you regularly use.

Yes, it is gross the execs aren’t rotting in a cell, but as a passenger I took comfort in knowing the problem was investigated and fixed knowing boeing was losing billions as a result of the investigation.
