Why Are Plane Crashes on the Rise Post-Covid?

Why Are Plane Crashes on the Rise Post-Covid?

Author: Mind Jungle Media June 14, 2025 Duration: 23:24

In this gripping episode, we dive into the shocking rise in plane crashes that’s raising alarms across the globe. From the deadly Air India Flight 171 crash in 2025 to the Japan Airlines A350 runway collision in Tokyo, aviation is facing turbulence like never before. We break down the latest five major plane crashes, including:

  • Air India Flight 171 (2025) – 241 lives lost just seconds after takeoff.
  • Japan Airlines Flight 516 (2024) – runway collision at Haneda Airport.
  • Yeti Airlines Flight 691 (2023) – ATR crash in Nepal, 72 killed.
  • China Eastern Flight MU5735 (2022) – Boeing 737-800 nosedive, 132 dead.
  • Tara Air Flight 197 (2022) – fatal crash in the Himalayas.

Is this spike due to pilot error, mechanical failure, Boeing’s controversial production practices, or the post-COVID aviation labor crunch? We unpack how airlines like Boeing, Air India, China Eastern, and Yeti Airlines are now under the microscope — and whether Airbus jets are proving safer by comparison.

Plus, we reveal:

  • The safest seat on the plane (statistically).
  • What airlines aren’t telling you about pilot shortages and maintenance.
  • Why passenger survival depends on small actions that can save your life.

If you’ve flown recently — or plan to — this is one episode you don’t want to miss.

There’s a certain kind of question that tends to surface in the quiet moments-while you’re doing the dishes or stuck in traffic. It’s not urgent, but it’s persistent, about how our minds work or why society is shaped the way it is. Mind Jungle Podcast from Mind Jungle Media is built for those very questions. Instead of skimming the surface, we settle in. Each conversation begins with a single, lingering thought, the sort you’ve mentally bookmarked for a rainy day, and then explores it without a time limit. You’ll hear deep, meandering discussions that touch on the complexities of consciousness, the ethical puzzles of artificial intelligence, the unwritten rules of our culture, and the foundations of our morality. It’s a space for exploration rather than quick answers, designed for anyone who finds their own thoughts to be the most fascinating terrain. This isn’t about news or hot takes; it’s about giving those background curiosities the room to breathe and grow. Tune in when you want to replace the noise with a different kind of signal-one that mirrors the rich, untamed quality of your own inner dialogue. We’re just here to wander through the thicket with you.
