it's just you

have a look at Aviation Safety Network or other sites and you will find that the only things that have increased are traffic and media coverage

23 accidents, 422 fatalities
» 10-year average:
23 accidents, 576 fatalities
the day before the Barajas accident, we were on the way to an extraordinary successful year regarding safety and few numbers of fatalities (200 with ASN's way of keeping track)

but sadly, noone can cheat death and the laws of probability :/

PS: hope it's understood that this quite theoretical approach is in no way disrespecting the victims of last week
