Airplane crashed due to hacking

Hello, yes, me again…

I just want to be upfront that I think I am depressed and am in a dark place in my life.
I’m fully aware that my thought processes are slightly skewed & a little weird. It’s just something that occured to me, that all these airplane crashes are linked maybe. Am I the only crazy person here ?

I know I’m going down a rabbit hole but I can’t help but feel the airplane crashes are a bizarre coincidence.

A military flight with US soldiers Phillipines
Alaska flight crash
Medical flight crash
Black hawk crash into Kansas flight to Washington DC

I found this article about the rise of hacking of airplane computers
https://www.irishtimes.com/world/europe/2025/01/03/you-can-no-longer-fully-trust-your-onboard-systems-pilots-say-airline-hacking-attacks-now-a-daily-problem/

I know it’s conspiratorial but can we really rule out there’s not a connection to so many recent crashes ? If not hacking then something else ?

My thoughts and prayers are with the families. I know many people will find this post in poor taste but I don’t see it like that. If it was my relative I’d want the world to be shocked, dismayed and discussing this. I’d want media glare on this issue and pressure on government for answers.

Maybe it is all just a coincidence but so many fatal crashes in the one country is fairly unusual ?

I know but there’s been 3 fatal crashes in the space of 2 weeks

According to Wikipedia, there are around 100 incidents a year, so three in the space of two weeks is only slightly above average.

Around 400 people a year die in plane crashes.

That’s not statistically relevant in the grand scheme of things. 20 crashes, maybe.

There are air crashes all the time. Sometimes there’s a spate of them, but there is no other significance to this. There are large numbers of people all over the world who are responsible for discovering the reason for these crashes; trained journalists, aviation engineers, police etc. Random obsessives on the internet are not going to help with the investigations and they will not provide you with well informed rational evidence either.

Your interest in this is because poor mental health is dragging you into dark places. Use your ability to fixate on something to focus on getting yourself well again. Instead of spending time reading about air crashes invest those hours in finding out what you can do to feel better and planning how you will put those things in place. Diet, exercise, sleep hygiene, counselling, therapy, medication, reconnecting with supportive friends, making new supportive friends, developing your hobbies, spending more time out of doors. This is the problem which needs your attention, not airplane crashes.

You are in a rabbit hole. But you know that. You can link anything you want. But it does not make conspiracies true.

About 30/40 years ago a medical flight crashed on the way into Liverpool. The pilot had a heart attack.

You can find anything online to support any theory.

The vast majority of accidents are exactly that.
