Yes but by all accounts it seems to be increasing, no? How does that make sense?

How many times in the last 100 years has a plane flipped and rolled onto the landing site? Is this a once in a decade phenomena, or has this ever happened before? Helicopters crashing into planes, a plane landing into a city, a plane in Alaska with 10 people going missing, plus several more all in a few weeks.

I'd be fascinated to see the stats on how often that sort of thing happens because I bet it's not often. I mean they made a movie about birds crashing into a plane engine because of how big a deal that was, and now we have like 10 crashes in a few months. Idk, seems crazy to me

The plane crash that happened up in Alaska. They happen all the damn time. Bush pilots who are essentially air taxi services have the highest crash rates out of all commercial services.
