apples and oranges

Always wise when making comparisons to make sure you are comparing apples with apples etc etc. In a land where you can suffer a single engine failure in a Bo 105, not be able to maintain height (cos you are above the weight required for safe single engine flight), ditch successfully, everyone gets out OK but the aircraft is a total loss AND NOT CALL IT AN ACCIDENT..... then be careful when comparing safety records. The FAA do not classify such events as ACCIDENTS. The NTSB cannot therefore get their hands on the investigation

So that's all right then!!!!
