How unusual is it for a plane to land upside down and have all passengers survive?

It's almost unheard of for a commercial aircraft to land upside down with landing gear in the air and have everyone survive. According to aerospace expert Ella Atkins from Virginia Tech, this occurrence is extremely rare, making it truly remarkable that all 80 passengers lived to tell their stories. While accidents during landings do occasionally happen, they are exceptionally unusual for commercial transport aircraft. Despite this rare incident, Atkins emphasizes that flying remains one of the safest forms of transportation and reassures that no one should hesitate to travel by air.
