Air travel is easy and relatively safe. Statistically speaking, you’re more likely to suffer a personal injury in a car accident than a plane crash. But airplanes are not immune from tragedy. In 2016, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) documented 1,335 aviation accidents in the U.S. alone. Meantime, the airline industry continues to stagger through the most recent, catastrophic aviation accidents involving Boeing 737 MAX jets.

The planes were grounded in March 2019 after a second deadly plane crash in less than six months. Almost 350 people lost their lives between the Lion Air (October 2018) and Ethiopian Airlines (March 2019) crashes. The causes of the crashes are under investigation.
