Plane crashes darken 2025’s early days. In two months, 87 incidents hit. That’s a shocking count. On January 29, an American Airlines jet crashed. It struck an Army helicopter over the Potomac. All 67 died.
Then, a medical jet fell in Philadelphia. Seven lost. February brought more—an Alaska crash killed 10. Each one hurts.
Why the Spike?
What’s causing these plane crashes? Weather’s harsh—ice and fog strike. Human error might play in. Old planes could too. The Potomac mess raised control issues. Probes drag on.
Answers stay unclear. Plane crashes this year sting—13 fatal ones. Families mourn. Travelers fret. Experts say flying beats driving. Still, 2025’s plane crashes shake trust.
