Something really weird is going on. “There have been 64 airplane crashes in the first few weeks of 2025. Last year, just for some reference, 36 total plane crashes. In 2020, it was just eight. What in the h**l is going on here?”
And that’s just the start of the year. If things keep up at this pace, 2025 could see more crashes than any year before. That’s what Joshua Garcia (@manifestwithjosh) is asking in a viral TikTok video that has people seriously questioning what’s happening in the skies.
Airplane crashes are surging at an alarming rate

This isn’t just a slight uptick. “We’re talking about six planes crashing within 48 hours.” It’s hard to ignore how fast this number is climbing. Is it just bad luck? A coincidence? Or is something else going on?
These crashes are happening all over the world
It’s not like all these accidents are happening in one area. “We’re not talking about just in one part of the world. We’re talking that this is happening all over the world.”
That makes it even stranger. If it was just one country or one airline, maybe there’d be a clear reason. But this? This is global.
Many lives have been lost
And the numbers aren’t just about planes. They’re about people. “The one in Washington, 67 people gone. Juju Airlines, 300 lives lost. Now the Philadelphia crash, we’re still counting.”
These aren’t just statistics. These are real people, real families, real tragedies.
Flying is supposed to be the safest choice
Here’s what makes this so baffling: “Planes are statistically the safest way of travel there. Thousands of times safer than traveling by car. So what is going on? And all of a sudden they’re dropping out of the sky?”
Some think this is no coincidence
Joshua doesn’t think this is random, and he’s not the only one. “Is this really a coincidence or is there something bigger happening here?”
It’s a fair question. A spike this big — is it just bad luck? Well, clearly many people are not convinced.
Is fear being used as a tool for control?
Joshua thinks fear is a tactic. “They need you in fear because low vibrations make you easier to control. When people are scared, they’re easier to manipulate.”
“But they can’t force you into low vibrations. Your focus creates your reality. If you let fear consume you, you attract more of it. When you focus on gratitude, growth, and love, your reality shifts completely.”
I’m not sold on that, but he has a point about not letting fear take over.
Let’s just hope the skies stay safe and no more lives are lost. That’s all anyone really wants.
Take a breath — no sense in feeding the panic.
