A small airplane has crashed in the Philippines killing all 5 on board and another 5 on the grounds resulting in 10 fatalities. This is surely not a great year for aviation! RIP to all on board.

This is certainly not a good year for aviation
Heres a Picture:
Yep, way to many crashes this year!
R.I.P to those who died and may the families find out the exact cause of this incident.
May the souls rest in peace and prayers those who lost their lives and to the families who’ve lost their loved ones 🙏
And we’re only in March!
Prayers out to everyone on board though.
Over 200 dead in plane crashes this year and it’s halfway through March…
Just wow…
Just imagine. Innocent people expecting a relaxing plane ride, and they got this. Be grateful it isn’t one of you onboard. May they rest in peace.
So much for the non fatality record. I hope the families of those involved find peace. I know what’s like to lose someone but to lose someone to aviation…
Oh great! Another aviation incident >:(
what? No! are you serious? so far 2018 is a horrible year with the shootings and now THIS? WHAT IS THIS YEAR ANYMORE?! dont forget this year is right after the SAFEST YEAR IN AVIATION HISTORY, WHAT HAPPENED?!
Ugh this happened in the philippines too, what a bummer
Another crash? 😢 Prayers out to the families of the victims.
Oh my god. My heart goes out to the victim’s family and I hope that this will be the last crash of the year.
According to Aviation Safety Wikibase, 497 people have lost their live in plane crashes this year. By this time in 2017, it were „only“ 223.
Compared to last year, 2018 has had a bad start. But still, flying is one of the safest ways to travel. As terrible as it sounds, accidents happen. Not only in aviation, but also on the street, on rails, on water, in space.
2018 hasn’t been a bad year for aviation. Those accidents are horrible. And we had a few in a short period of time. But compare it to 1972. By this time of the year, around 930 people have lost their live in an plane crash.
And let’s not forget one thing: The counting system of „Years“ as we know it is an invention by humans. We say „That year has been horrible“ but actually, there’s no difference whether a plane crashed on October 23rd, 2017 or October 23rd, 2018. Accidents happen, no matter what year we write. It’s the technology which is improving over the time and what’s making flying even safer.
