    The Spin

    Narrative A

    While the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the LearJet 55 crash, it must be pointed out that Jet Rescue Air Ambulance previously operated a Learjet 35A involved in a deadly 2023 crash in southern Mexico. Between 2000 and 2020, 87 accidents killed 230 people — it's time to address the human factors to prevent further fatal crashes.

    Narrative B

    It's premature to speculate on why the plane — flying under rainy weather and low visibility — went down. Moreover, it's heartbreaking to know that the child fought to survive, but an awful aviation disaster shortened her life. This tragic turn of events is shocking, especially when the ambulance maintained the highest international standards and had been in excellent flying condition.
