YAHOO POLL: Are you worried about flying?
The Delta Air Line crash is the latest in a string of air travel incidents. On Monday (17 Feb), a Delta Air Lines plane from Minneapolis crash-landed at Toronto Pearson Airport and flipped over. There were at least 18 injured, including a child. Prior to that, on 29 Jan, a major plane crash occurred when an American Airlines passenger jet collided with an Army helicopter as the plane was about to land at Washington D.C.'s Ronald Reagan National Airport. All 67 passengers aboard both aircrafts died. This crash was reported to be the deadliest plane crash in the US since 2001. Another aviation disaster that gripped the world was the tragic Jeju Air plane crash on 29 Dec. The plane skidded off a runway, slammed into a concrete fence and burst into flames, killing 179 people. YAHOO POLL: Are Gen Zs having an unprofessional attitude towards work?

While the occurrence of major aviation disasters so close to each other is concerning, experts have maintained that air travel is safe. Hassan Shahidi, president and CEO of the nonprofit Flight Safety Foundation, told Yahoo News, "We've seen over the last few months several accidents that have occurred in the U.S. and globally. Certainly anytime you see these accidents in such a short period of time, it's a great concern to travellers." However, Shahidi stressed that these disasters are independent and "accidents are always unique".

Canadian investigators find black boxes after Toronto plane crash, probe continues
(Reuters) - Canadian investigators said on Tuesday they recovered the so-called black boxes from a regional jet that flipped upside down upon landing in windy conditions a day earlier at Toronto's Pearson Airport, injuring 21 of the 80 people on board. Investigators from Canada's Transportation Safety Board are leading the probe to figure out why the CRJ900 aircraft operated by Delta Air Line's Endeavor Air subsidiary went belly up on Monday at Toronto's Pearson Airport, the country's largest airport. TSB senior investigator Ken Webster said in a video that the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder were sent to the agency's lab for further analysis into what happened to Flight DL4819 from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport to Toronto (Reporting By Allison Lampert in Montreal; Editing by Leslie Adler)
