The numerous airline accidents in 2025, starting with the accident in DC on 1/29 involving an AA passenger plane and a Black hawk helicopter, should alarm the public. The Black hawk was on a routine training mission southbound along the Potomac river while an AA CRJ was attempting to land at Reagan international airport when they collided just prior to landing and all on board both aircraft were killed (67), but there have been many other incidences in 2025 with issues that normally occur infrequently; 12 engine fires, flight control issues, equipment, flight recorder, comm issues, or all the above. Engine fires are very rare and many of them had multiple failures which is even less likely to be accidental;

1. 1/29 DC Copter/AA CRJ plane collision (altimeter, controls, comm, flight recorder)
2. 1/31 Philadelphia-Mexican Lear jet crashed near (engine failure, flight recorder)
3. 2/2 Houston-United Airlines A319 (engine fire)
4. 2/2 FAA warning system went down (cyber attack)
5. 2/6 Alaskan commuter plane crash (engine failure, flight recorder)
6. 2/6 Philadelphia train erupted in flames (engine fire)
7. 2/12 Red Sea-USS Truman collided with freighter & lost 3-F18’s (2 landings, 1 overboard)
8. 2/17 Toronto-Delta CRJ flipped over (hard landing due to altimeter?)
9. 2/24 Atlanta-Delta 717 flight reported smoke in the cabin (undisclosed)
10. 3/1 Newark-Fedex 767 had an emergency landing (engine fire)
11. 3/13 Denver-AA 737 had an emergency landing (engine fire)
12. 3/21 Heathrow airport substation fire (transformer fire)
13. 4/10 NYC Helicopter crash kills 5 tourists from Spain (copter came apart)
14. 4/21 Orlando-Delta A330 engine caught fire on runway (engine fire)
15. 4/28 Spain/Portugal-widespread power outage (escalating power outages in 12s)
16. 5/16 Newark-ATC radar/comm out on 4/28 & 5/8 and Denver on 5/16 (3 outages in 90s?)
17. 5/21 San Diego-Cessna Citation crashes 2m short of runway killing 6 (Alt/GPS, comm)

21. 7/4 Orlando-Jet Blue 737 veered off runway after losing steering and brakes (hydraulic system failure)
22. 7/18 Denver-AA 737 dropped landing gear during take-off (hydraulic failure)
23. 10/1-NYC-2 Delta CRJ’s collided on the runway after one lurched into the other (under investigation)

25. 11/6 Louisville-UPS MD-11 crashed shortly after takeoff when the engine fell off and the wing caught on fire (under investigation)

AI and Directed Energy Weapons have advanced at an alarming rate and can intrude into and damage aircraft, engines, equipment and instruments, so the media should not be satisfied with explanations of maintenance, faulty equipment or pilot error. The FBI has warned that cyber criminals are using AI tools to conduct cyber attacks on the airlines and AI remains unregulated and easily available to Cyber criminals.
