Recent global air crashes leave 20 dead, prompt safety scrutiny
A wave of recent air accidents, including helicopter crashes in Nepal, India, and Bosnia, plus a charter jet crash in the US has left 20 people dead and put a spotlight on aviation safety worldwide.
These back-to-back tragedies are prompting calls for a closer look at how flights are regulated and what can be done to keep passengers safer.

In Florida, a charter jet crashed into a residential area on November 2 while flying from Austin to the Bahamas, killing nine people; US officials are now investigating what went wrong.
Just days earlier in India, six lives were lost when a helicopter went down in Uttarakhand. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is checking if all protocols were followed.
Meanwhile, Nepal saw two helicopters collide near Mount Everest, and Bosnia lost four people in a European Union peacekeeping chopper crash.
