- kevin_nisbet 2y agoI have the same question in my mind... seems like there is one of these reported every month or two and it's just asking for a more serious mistake to be made.
- dave78 2y agoI don't know the answer, but there has definitely been a proliferation of YouTube channels that feature every single aviation anomaly. So, I suspect that it's at least somewhat the fact that a lot more attention is being called to these incidents than would have been in the recent past.
- MadnessASAP 2y agoThey are not increasing to the best of my knowledge. Recent events in aviation (Boeing, the accident in Japan) have resulted in more eyes, interest, and reporting of the going ons in aviation however. Which of course results in the casual observer being made aware of happenings that may have otherwise flown (punny) under their radar. For those curious I like to recommend the excellent avherald.com whose owner catalogs flight safety reports from around the world.
- jessriedel 2y agoGiven that the rate of aircraft crashes is falling, and many of the remaining crashes are due mechanical issues like the 373 Max, I am inclined to think it’s a monitoring issue.
