The aerospace industry has continued to become safer throughout the years, and 2023 was a year in which no large turbofan-powered aircraft were involved in any major fatal accidents. As a result, 2023 will go down in history as the safest in the history of commercial aviation.
There have been a few smaller incidents, including two fatal incidents involving non-jet-powered airliners. Furthermore, there were several fatal crashes involving jet-powered private aircraft, as well as many that saw those involved in general aviation lose their lives.
Kudos to Improved technology in the aviation sector.
That is good news, but somewhat ironically timed.

Hah good point! I knew this comment was coming lol
I mean no one died and miraculously the seats were empty, so even that story might count as good news if we stretch the definition a little.
The blowout didn't lead to a crash which is pretty important. Kind of amazing that depressurization didn't turn into anything more catastrophic!
Not if you are a jet window...
Good news to the Safest mode of transport,don't you think so
👏👏
