Hey Gooseman Fighter

Think the flight in your country is the safest? THINK AGAIN!!
I'm sorry but you miss the point entirely. How many people were killed in the incident you refer to? How many injuries were there, how many runway over-runs, hull losses or maybe even hull damages or maybe even broken finger nails? Please tell me, can you?........the answer is nill, none, nada.

There is no comparison between the number of people that are killed in the region when perfectly serviceable aircraft are pranged with monotonous regularity by operators referred to in the IATA survey, and a perfectly safe air-return for a malfunction that did not even cause somebody to stubb thier toe.

Yes there are "incidents" that occur within every system and in every country but not with the endemic regularity that occur in certain places.
