That chart of deaths looks fishy. It shows a lot more deaths from 2011-2020 than from 2021-2022. Which seems completely obvious. Of course there is more deaths in 10 years than there is in 1.5 years. Unless they intend to say "deaths per year", but that's not on the lable at least. Numbers for 2020 and 2021 are useless anyway due to reduced number of flights.
It looks like someone wants to push their political agenda.
- kubanczyk 4y agoAgenda or not, the whole point of the chart is to show that row with 132 deaths as a solid statistic. At the bottom of the same chart: "* Unconfirmed" in small print. Classic.
- signatoremo 4y agoWhy is it the whole point? The chat is about aviation fatality caused by pilot suicides, not to show “132 death as solid statistic”. Also, the small print is “March 2022 China Eastern Crash is likely intentional, but unconfirmed”. You took out the important first part. The article has four paragraphs that discusses this specific event, yet you choose to go with a small print.
- signatoremo 4y agoThe label could have been “2020s so far” instead of “2021-2022” but the intention is quite clear, isn’t it? to show the death in the last four decades. Poor choice maybe. What is fishy about it? > Numbers for 2020 and 2021 are useless anyway due to reduced number of flights. As opposed to standstill air traffic after 9/11?
