A FedEx plane returned safely after an engine explosion after takeoff from Newark NJ in March of 2025. A UPS aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff from Louisville, Kentucky in November 2025, when the left engine broke off the aircraft.

From an aviation safety viewpoint, these two get a pass. Out of the crew's control.

Excluding aircraft maintenance from aviation safety?

The UPS crash in particular was caused by the maintenance crews violating technical orders that were put in place after a prior fatal crash.
