Airplane Safety Timeline 1970-2024

My Airplane Safety graphic has reached over 1,000,000 impressions on Linkedin in one week! As I write this, the piece has gone viral with 240 reposts, 4,385 reactions and 206 comments. It struck a nerve! The history and evolution of airplane safety is a story that needs to be told. The Story Behind This Graphic Aviation safety has always been an important topic to me. I was finishing up this piece as phase one of a 3-year-long aviation safety data project, when news broke of the terrible D.C. crash. So I prioritized getting this graphic out to show the context and nuances of commercial aviation's safety record. I posted it to the Voronoi app from Visual Capitalist on Jan. 31. On Sunday, February 2, 2025 I posted the piece like I always do to my LinkedIn. I like to share what I post to Voronoi on my social media as well. Now it is a week later and I’m stunned at the overwhelmingly positive response. This topic is incredibly important to the aviation community. From aerspace engineers to pilots. From airline executives to safety analysts. And maybe most critically, to the general flying public. When flying is perceived as unsafe, we need clarity. Why I Made It (I Wasn’t Paid) By making this graphic, I wanted readers to know that thousands of people over the years have worked to ensure flying is safe. It took years of studying accidents, developing technology and paying attention to human factors. So many people are working hard today to make aviation even safer. There is so much that goes into even a short flight to get you across to another state. We stand today (or should I say we soar) on the legacy of so many technological and regulatory milestones. It’s an extremely nuanced study to understand airplane safety. I took up this topic from my personal curiosity and because I just wanted to understand what happens when things go wrong. It turned out that what is more compelling and important is what has happened because things go right. As the line chart shows, aviation get safer and safer as time goes on. What’s Next But accidents still happen. We are going to learn a lot from the recent crashes. We will be safer. Showing this will an ongoing data visualization project for me. Since this piece opened up so many discussions, I’m going to expand it. The combined experience and aviation expertise of the comments alone will enhance what I’ve done into a much more detailed and potentially interactive chart. Stay tuned! And thanks to everyone who supports my work and reposted with their own thoughts, keeping the discussion fresh and alive. It has really moved me. For this avgeek graphic designer, it has been an incredible week. Cheers, Julie
