It is a shocking and unfortunate reality that 99% of fatalities in airplane crashes result from fires and smoke inhalation, not the impact of the collision itself which is largely survivable in the majority of cases. This highlights a devastating gap in our existing air safety measures. A plane's fuselage burns and fills with smoke all too quickly during these tragic incidents, leaving passengers helpless and unable to escape. In the spirit of preserving human life and prioritizing safety over cost, we call upon the global aviation industry, aircraft manufacturers, aviation regulatory authorities, and governments to necessitate the design and manufacturing of aircraft that are non-combustible, or at the very least, provide safeguard to passengers from the fuselage in case of a fire. This is a critical step that needs to be taken to prevent future loss of life due to plane fires. Time and technology have given us the means to bring about this change. Let’s use science to save lives. Sign this petition to demand safer skies for everyone. Furthermore, meaningful advancements in this often obfuscated area of aeronautics would lead to much higher confidence in air travel worldwide. Do not let this issue get swept under the rug any longer! It hurts everyone and will not prove lucrative to ignore the giant flaming elephant in the room.
