Sometimes, a quick glance at the morning headlines is enough to make you want to bury your computer, hide back under the covers and give the day a big, fat nope. The tragedies.The natural disasters. The comments sections. It’s all too much. In the midst of the brokenness, you scream, “ISN’T THERE ANYTHING GOOD HAPPENING?!”

Actually, there is.

In the Ask Reddit community, Viscous_Crescendo wanted to know: “What is something GOOD happening in the world you wished more people knew about?”

Redditors came through, flooding the post with shiny, uplifting facts that may have gotten lost in the news cycle. Now you can drop this hope bomb on those who need it.

There hasn’t been a single fatal crash on a US-based commercial passenger airline this entire decade (2010s), which is the longest safety streak since the industry began. —Hermosa06-09

The New York Times explains:

There are many reasons for this remarkable development. Planes and engines have become more reliable. Advanced navigation and warning technology has sharply reduced once-common accidents like midair collisions or crashes into mountains in poor visibility. Regulators, pilots and airlines now share much more extensive information about flying hazards, with the goal of preventing accidents rather than just reacting to them. And when crashes do occur, passengers are now more likely to survive.
