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.
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!
Kudos to Improved technology in the aviation sector.
Not if you are a jet window...
Good news to the Safest mode of transport,don't you think so
👏👏
