Flying is safe but... accidents happen.

When they happen, it's all over the news. But the thousands upon thousands of safe flights don't make it to the headlines.

The magic of the Internet took me to Admiral Cloudberg, "analyzer of plane crashes." Each post breaks down a rare accident, tracing the failed part or procedure that triggered the disaster.

After binge-reading some of Admiral Cloudberg's deconstructions, what struck me was the meticulous investigation after every accident.
