There … Falling from the Sky … Covid Jabbed Pilots! By Charles Taylor (Florida)
Having had a pilot’s licence back in the day doing crop dusting in Texas, after my Honourable Discharge from the US Army due to injuries from gunshot wounds from the Afghanistan front, I know how easy it is for accidents to happen. That is why pilots have a rigour set of safety checks to methodologically do. Even then crashes occur, but not as frequently as the general public might think. Yet, there is, along with the phenomenon of athletes collapsing on the field, a significantly significant rise in light plane and helicopter crashes here in the US. There has yet to be any official investigation of this, but nor has there been one of the long stringy blood clots that US embalmers have found. The great Covid cover up continues.
“This article is prefaced with a few facts. The U.S. Helicopter Safety Team (USHST) reported 122 helicopter accidents, with 51 fatalities, in 2019. There were 92 accidents and 35 fatalities in the first year of COVID dystopia (2020) when aircraft were grounded for months. In fact there was a 107-day period in 2020 with no fatal helicopter accidents, which is unusual compared to other years. Further, small, private aircraft crash relatively-frequently, even before the COVID-19/vaccine era. But the difference since 2021 – more people are dying in said crashes.
USHST data measure fatal accidents per 100,000 flight hours every month. It’s rare for those monthly numbers to ever exceed ONE fatal crash per 100,000 hours. Anything under one is generally accepted as a good number. But three months in 2021 exceeded that baseline number, with a peak of 2.08 fatal crashes per 100,000 flight hours in December 2021.
The average American doesn’t pay attention to helicopter crashes or the statistic thereof. In the last five years, the only real spike in searches for helicopter crashes on Google trends was in January 2020 after former NBA superstar Kobe Bryant and his daughter died in a helicopter crash. Searches are now trending upwards in February 2022 as well.
A website called The Points Guy crunched statistics from various government agencies to create a “Death Index” for modes of travel. Commercial airlines are the safest and the baseline mode of travel, with an index of 1. Only two people have died in U.S. commercial airplane accidents since 2010. Helicopters have a death index of 63. Private planes are 271.7. For what it’s worth, all of them are safer than driving or riding in a car, with a 453.6 death index.”
That is a sobering statistic for sure.
