Not too bad -

 

only three fatal scheduled fatals (Ethiopian at Beirut -no survivors; Afriqiyah at Tripoli - 1 survivor and Air India Express at Mangalore - 8 survivors) plus 2 non scheduled (one An-28 in Surinam and an An-24 at the Salang Pass in Afghanistan)

 

a few training flight sand cargo crashes and too many people sliding off the end of runways in bad weather

 

remarkable when you think how many flights there are very day

because British schools have given up teaching people to do maths and every student wants to do meeja studies or drama

Got any numbers Rob? My lass is shit scared of flying so I always give her the "there are loads of flights every year but how many crashes?", it would be interesting to know the proper numbers though.

over the last 10 years the first 6 months of the year has seen fatalities between 100 & 700 and accidents (Scheduled, non-scheduled and cargo flights) between 9 and 18

 

that's worldwide - there are 30,000 commercial flights a day in the USA alone.

 

Last number I have worldwide is an average of over 49,000 a day (2001)

 

when you look at the stats this year the scheduled fatals aren't airlines, aircarft or places most of us would be using ever

I am a composite group of post grad students at the University of Adelaide studying working class responses to stimuli via the internet

 

Our Prof's ma comes from Tyneside so he suggested that as the UK area to add- we also do St Louis and Port Pirie as well......................

Beeb_ " A plane carrying more than 130 people has crash landed on the Colombian island of San Andres, killing one elderly passenger and injuring at least 114.

The plane had been travelling from Bogota to the tiny Caribbean island, which often suffers from storms and high winds, when it crashed."

 

Probably not lightning that caused it - he landed in a severe thunderstorm (=idiot) and the story going round is he was either fast or long down a short runway

 

amazing only one person killed (so far) although there are reports of some serious injuries
