Response: Recent Influx in Crashes? Coincidence or not?

Lauren Williams


In response to some of the comments left, which I thank you for.

Yes I do think this is something we can all relate to, and something we are all secretly worried about. Especially the young students, the ones eager to explore new places in the world.
Here is some more information on the troubling air safety record of China Airlines. Reported on this website are just some of the crashes and incidents China Airlines has encountered since 1970- Almost all of them resulting in fatalities.

I know that there are many flights travelling in, out and around China numerous times a day, but this should not mean that the planes are not regular replaced.

In the world we’re living in today, travelling is almost a necessity; it keeps business running, communication around the world happening, and provides opportunities for us to broaden our knowledge. So it’s fair enough to say, we as a society are spending a lot on plane travel- especially more so over the past 15 years. But where is this money going? As Mutzfer said, which I am inclined to agree on, 98% of it is probably going into the execs hands, and not into actually maintaining a safe mode of transport…and possibly keeping up from dying.

As I said previously, these recent reports of crashes has got me concerned, and not many people seem to be actually asking why this is happening.
I struggled to find many other critical articles on this topic, but I feel it is something that should be strongly addressed.

I thank you all once again for your feedback, and will continue to investigate this issue myself.
