Liars figure and figures lie.

Razoray - Factor in hull losses and those numbers change considerably.

That said, for most of the modern fleet built since 1980, one type is not inherently safer than another. Each machine has pitfalls that once known can be mitigated in operation.

We run into trouble when new problems arise or preexisting problems formerly hidden beneath layers of metal, wiring or software rear their ugly and untimely heads.
