Unhappy

Since these stats refer to 1995, I thought I would see if the NTSB/FAA had any detailed analysis. Unfortunately, although their daily bulletins differentiate between crew and pax, I have yet to find this detail for 1995.

However, using their classification, there appear to be 5 fatal accidents for "commercial" aircraft, involving 171 fatalities, and 412 fatal accidents for GA, involving 727 fatalities. If one assumes that an "occupation" is paid work, I don't know where the 111 figure came from.

Any "professional" statisticians out there?
