A United Airlines Boeing 767 arriving from Venice, Italy just struck a bakery truck on the New Jersey Turnpike while landing at Newark Liberty Airport. 231 passengers were on board. Nobody was seriously hurt. And somehow this is the 6th time something like this has happened in just over a month.

That is not normal. And I think we need to talk about it.

In this video I walk you through all 6 aviation incidents that have rocked the US airline industry since early April 2026. We are talking about a close call at LAX where a Frontier jet nearly hit two trucks on the taxiway, a UPS Boeing 767 that narrowly avoided a collision at Muhammad Ali International in Louisville, a near miss between two planes at JFK that had cockpit audio released publicly, and now this, a passenger plane physically making contact with a vehicle on a New Jersey highway while 231 people were sitting in their seats.

The dashcam footage caught the whole thing on camera. The plane came in low on Runway 29, a shorter runway that literally passes over the I-95 corridor, struck the bakery truck, clipped a light pole sitting just 13 feet off the ground, and still managed to land. The crew has been removed from service. The NTSB is investigating human error, weather, and aircraft performance.

Six incidents. Just over a month. This is not a streak of bad luck. This is a pattern. And when patterns like this show up in aviation safety, history tells us what usually comes next.

Is it still safe to fly US airlines right now? That is the question I want you thinking about after watching this video.

Drop your take in the comments. If you are in the US, are you flying domestically in the US this summer or are you thinking twice?
