Older aircraft crash more and suffer from more issues due to age and design features
I'm sorry, but that is complete and utter horsesh*t! Old, well maintained aircraft earn their crust alongside the latest 'Boebus' technology. New does not equal safe by any stretch! Simple example, I bought a tyre 6 months ago, failed after 3 weeks, scared me at the time.(apparently poor manufacture!)
That can happen with anything, be it your 'Dyson' or 'B787'
