A string of plane crashes have left Americans wary of flying again

“We received notification yesterday afternoon that, effective immediately, all departing and arriving flights with Silver Airlines are canceled,” Angela Starke, MCO senior vice president of public affairs and community relations, told local NBC affiliate WESH.

“This decision will allow us to secure additional capital and undertake a financial restructuring that will strengthen our position as a competitive airline, ultimately benefiting you—our valued customers.”

The canceled flights follow an announcement that the airline filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December 2024.

The airline voluntarily filed for bankruptcy in order to financially restructure its company, The Street reported.

The airline faces eviction from Fort Lauderdale International Airport over unpaid airport fees.

Silver Airways did not immediately reply to The U.S. Sun’s request for more information.

TURBULENT TIMES

Last weekend, a FedEx cargo jet had a fiery takeoff from Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey.

Explosion-like sounds were reportedly heard shortly after the plane took off, forcing it to make an emergency landing.

Footage of the FedEx plane captured the flaming engine while it was still on the ground.

“Engine failure/fire FedEx 3609 at Newark on takeoff, returned to land,” one X user wrote.

The cargo jet was in the air for about nine minutes before the jet’s engine was hit by a bird, which forced the plane to land, airport authorities claim.

The FedEx jet is just one in a string of plane crashes and malfunctions that have left customers wary of stepping on a flight again.

A horrific collision between an American Airlines plane and a US Army Black Hawk helicopter spurred the fear of flying.

In January, a Black Hawk helicopter struck the passenger plane, causing both aircrafts to plunge into the Potomac River.

The government helicopter was on a training mission when it hit the plane, ripping the aircraft into three parts.

The plane erupted into flames as it hit the river, killing 67 people in total.

The horrific crash is the deadliest US air crash since November 2001, when 260 people died after an American Airlines plane plunged into a Queens neighborhood.

Despite the heartbreaking deaths of the American Airlines crash, experts attribute the crashes to “random clustering.”

“While these events are tragic, the likely explanation is simply ‘random clustering,’ which occurs when multiple crashes occur over a short period, warping our general perception and causing us to think that there is an increasing trend in plane crashes,” aviation expert Jason Matzus previously told The U.S. Sun.

“When in reality these crashes, despite being so close together, are merely coincidental and not caused by a systemic safety issue.”
