The Delta Air Lines crash at Toronto Pearson International Airport is the latest in a series of accidents that have raised concerns among air travelers and criticized American aviation regulators. In 2025, there have been three major U.S. accidents:
1. American Airlines jet and Army helicopter collide: On January 29, an American Airlines plane collided with an Army helicopter near Washington’s Reagan National Airport, resulting in the deaths of 67 people. Questions have been raised about flight paths and air traffic control staffing.
2. Medical jet goes down in Philadelphia: A medical plane crashed in Philadelphia on January 31, killing all six people on board and one person on the ground. The plane was transporting a child and her mother back to Mexico after completing treatment in Philadelphia.
3. Regional plane crashes in remote Alaska: A small passenger plane carrying 10 people crashed in remote Alaska on February 6. The wreckage, with the bodies of the pilot and passengers, was found the next day. The pilot had intended to enter a holding pattern while waiting for the runway in Nome to be cleared, but the runway was open at the time.
These accidents highlight the risks associated with air travel and have led to investigations to determine the causes of each crash. The incidents have sparked debates about flight safety measures and air traffic control procedures to prevent similar accidents in the future.
