Airline accidents decline --Avery Yoss 4th period
It is said that the amount of airline accidents really declined during 2015. There were 136 deaths from four crashes while in 2014 there were 614 deaths from airline accidents. The annual average before 2015 was 504 deaths and about 17 crashes. 2015 was said to be a really safe year. Most aircraft accidents are non-fatal though.
I think this sounds like we are making progress and I predict there to be fewer and fewer deaths from airline accidents because of the new technology being invented everyday.
