About the author

Aditya Sharma is an undergraduate Honours Computer Science student at McGill University, with a passion for aviation safety and data-driven storytelling. He has been fascinated by aviation since childhood, and is curious to understand the causes and consequences of aviation disasters. As a finalist of the Flight PS752 Commemorative Scholarship Program, he created Safe Skye to honor the victims of these tragedies, spread awareness among the public, and to provide a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in learning about aviation safety. He believes that by documenting these incidents with care and accuracy, we can help prevent future tragedies and promote accountability in the aviation industry.

Aviation disasters are not merely statistics. Behind every number is a name, a family, and a life that deserved to continue. This platform exists to hold that truth: to document the circumstances, and to trace the accountability and safety progress that these losses made possible.

For Flight PS752 in particular, we remember 176 people — scholars, doctors, parents, children, and crew — killed not by weather or mechanical failure, but by missiles fired in error during a period of geopolitical escalation. Their stories deserve to be told with care and kept with permanence.

Each incident documented here represents a chain of decisions, failures, and systemic gaps. By surfacing them together, we hope to make clear how much aviation safety has advanced — and how much accountability still matters.
