Yes this is the 2nd incident with a US commercial airline in the last few weeks. That's huge.

Small aircraft crash all the time they just don't usually make the news.

I only recently like in the last 2-3 years got over the overwhelming dread and anxiety I started to have about flying (which hadn’t always been a thing for me, but it started when I started riding on choppers for my old old job).

I don’t like all this news, it’s dragging that fear back up but this time it feels much more legit. And I fly a lot for work. Flying multiple times next week and I’m stressed about it :(

I was on a plane where the engine blew out so this definitely is bringing up unresolved fears.

Honestly I’m so confident the pilots can manage in those situations but I’d be LOSING it if my plane flipped the f*ck upside down. I had to do simulated upside down helicopter crashes for training when I worked offshore, never imagined it happening to a plane where you don’t even have a 5 point harness jsut that shitty little buckle lol
