    Okay, what's up with all of these plane crashes?

    I look at the headlines today and I see two plane crashes with multiple deaths. There was the big one the other day. And there have been a couple more over the past week or so.

    Have plane crashes been going through the roof or are we just hearing a lot more about it suddenly?

      Stat wise they are still very damn rare. Like I would guess without checking one would have better odds getting hit by lightning than being in a plane crash, hell I would even guess you would have better odds getting hit twice actually.

      Just every so often some must crash. Shit just happens and you hear of a few during one month or week, then hear of nothing for a long time.

          I see plane crashes in the news every week it seems. I don't think they stop crashing for long.

            Eh?
            Are you aware how many flights there are per day (24/7) in the world and then how many people are in those planes? Number wise entire populations move around each day via plane.

            They do not just pull out the stats based on, well there are less planes than cars so walla there will be less plane crashes than car crashes.

              It's those fucking MD80's. I was on one about a month ago and almost shit my pants. After I printed out my return ticket and noticed I'd be on one on the return trip as well I almost rescheduled. Upon that second flight the shitty MD80 did not disappoint. We had the most uncomfortable landing that I've ever experienced...even the flight attendant closed her eyes and appeared to be praying.

                I think that was just an American Airlines thing? The three that I noticed this week were all from foreign countries.

                    It's the MEDIA!!! They love it when a lot of people die at once and any plane crash is news no matter how insignificant it is.

                      They do report on things in spurts. This week it will be plane crashes, next week it will be school shootings, the next kidnapped kids.

                      That stuff all happens daily, but they get reported in groups.

                          Obviously each plane crash is independent on each other. (pilot suicides could be influenced by previous suicides, but not engine failures etc)

                          It's just pure statistics.

                          Just like the same number in the casino coming suddenly more often for a while.

                                  The latest plan crash was on the banned list, so not flying on that airline is a no brainier. Same as Garuda, you couldn't pay me to fly on their planes.

                                    LOL are you trying to tell us plane crashes happen on a daily basis? Believe me, if a boeing 747 crashes u will hear from it or any big air carriers.

                                              i only fly airlines that have enough money to maintain their machines... no almost insolvent crap airlines
                                              so no delta, or AA in the US... no US air because they suck in general

                                                      I always find it funny when people compare scary yet unlikely things (like plane crashes, shark attacks etc) with lightning strikes. I mean, how likely is it to be struck by lightning anyway? Is it really that common? If so, that sucks...

                                                        There are many shitty planes flying around. These new low cost companies have reduced services, the cost of the maintenance is reduced a lot, and the planes rented are the ones that none serius company want to use.
