How many plane crashes have there been in 2025? How many people have died?

While the article provides factual data on aviation accidents, it subtly frames recent incidents as part of a concerning trend, despite aviation safety statistics indicating otherwise. The phrase “latest in a slate of recent aviation disasters” implies an alarming pattern without establishing causation (False Cause). The use of emotionally charged language, such as "devastating mid-air crash" and “disasters,” amplifies fear rather than maintaining a neutral tone (Appeal to Emotion, Biased Language). Additionally, presenting near-midair collision statistics without context may mislead readers into thinking such events are increasing or abnormally high.
