also, although it seems like there are a lot of crashes happening at the moment and that therefore the risk must be climbing; news affects our sense of risk far more if we are being shown a narrative of similar stories, as the narrative builds we get disproportionately sccared and search out the narrative even more to confirm our fears. Then another narrative will come along (shark attacks maybe, or a killer virus) and we'll forget about this, even if the incident rate stays largely the same. I would like to see if this spike is anything genuinely backed by data, and whether occasionally in the vast universe of probability, these kind of spikes happen all the time with everything
