The DC collision is the only one that seems to have a greater systemic pattern involved. Other recent crashes have been mechanical or probable pilot error and those aren’t uncommon for small planes. A few hundred people die every year in small planes without most making the news.

But for different causes. This one seems mechanical with a clear gear collapse [watch the left side] and terrible luck that there was one other plane on the field: https://www.reddit.com/r/CatastrophicFailure/comments/1imy3el/the_video_of_the_crash_of_the_learjet_35a_at/
