Does anyone have reliable statistics (facts) about the number of engine failures and other major failures (such as holes in fuselage and uncontrolled stuka dives) that Qantas has suffered in the past 10 years, and by comparison the ten years previous to that ie over past 10 years and past 10-20years?
Yup!
At least two (3) in the decade to 2010.
Call it two (2) in the decade to 2000, and
Oh! ...... and make it one (1) for the decade to 1990.
That would appear to be 100% increase per decade!
What is the source of this information? I asked a Hollywood actor who is into aeroplanes!
