A series of aviation accidents have captured global attention over the years, particularly the recent Air India tragedy.

A London-bound passenger jet ploughed into a residential area of India's western Ahmedabad city on June 12, 2025, killing at least 265 people on board and on the ground. Social media was soon awash with misused visuals including old clips that depict a plane crash in Nepal and an incident on a Ryanair flight.
