Intentional Crashes By Pilots Become Increasing Concern
A recent incident involving a pilot’s suspected attempt to crash a Boeing 737 MAX has highlighted the growing threat of rogue pilots to airline safety. According to data, at least 800 people have died in suspected intentional airline crashes since 2005. Several high-profile crashes, including a 2014 Malaysia Airlines flight and a 2022 China Eastern Airlines crash, are believed to have been caused by deliberate pilot actions. The issue is a concern for airlines, regulators, and aerospace manufacturers, who are working to address the problem. This was reported by the Wall Street Journal.
