Experts warn passengers that, statistically speaking, commercial aviation is still the safest mode of transportation despite the tragedy. In contrast to the 1 in 93 likelihood of dying in a motor vehicle catastrophe, the odds of dying in an aviation mishap are too minuscule to compute, according to the National Safety Council.
The FAA, Boeing, and the National Transportation Safety Board are working with the Aviation and Railway Accident Investigation Board in South Korea to determine the cause.
Boeing released a statement saying, “Our deepest condolences go to the families affected.” “We are dedicated to providing safety and supporting the investigation.”
This infrequent occurrence demonstrates the continued dedication of the international aviation sector to safety, as strict standards and best practices are used to keep billions of passengers safe each year.
