Rob W 0 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W 0 Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W 0 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
