This thread is for discussion on the incident concerning K2 Airways Flight 1732. All other posts on this incident will be removed.

We know that aviation incidents can be distressing for fearful fliers. It is ok to feel upset, anxious or distressed. This thread is for mutual support at this time. 

The rules for this megathread are:

• No external links: All external links will be removed. Media coverage of air incidents is notoriously poor. It is dramatic, sensationalist, and in many cases factually wrong. There is no posting media articles, footage, or commentary of any sort in this thread or on the sub generally.


• No speculation on cause: Speculation and theories on the cause of the incident is entirely unhelpful. We do not yet know the cause. Only a thorough investigation, completed by qualified investigators and technicians can determine this. We will learn in time what happened.

 

We are monitoring this thread closely. 

REMEMBER:

• We DO NOT recommend reading, watching, listening to any media, commentary, footage or any other material about this incident. Such coverage is usually deliberately provocative and only serves to feed the (incorrect) belief that flying is unsafe.


• This incident does not "confirm" your fear. It is a freakish anomaly in an industry with a track record of outstanding safety.


• Despite this incident, flying remains the safest form of transportation. This incident does not change that. If you have a flight booked soon, get on that flight!


• Lessons will be learned from this incident that will make flying even safer.


Thank you.
