Lies, damn lies and statistics!

727 'hull losses' - defined as not repaired and returned to operation following substantial damage.

Including LAB :- 89 operational losses (Annex 13 definition) excluding deliberate acts of violence.
or 94 operational losses including deliberate acts of violence
or 108 operational and non-operational losses including acts of violence - take your pick.

Note a number of these 'hull losses' (as defined) come about because the aircraft are not worth much due to their age and become insurance constructive total losses after suffering relatively little damage but still meeting definition of 'substantial'.

'Hull loss' is not a good measure of safety.
