And then there was the Canadian Airbus that ran out of fuel and did a dead stick landing in the Azores.
Actually, while we are on the subject of safety and statistics, I would like to mention survival gear and the GOM. I'm aware that in the North Sea and Canada, amoung other northern enviroments, survuval suits are required for passengers and crew. In the GOM you may have only a handful of days where the temperatures are below freezing, so there you are - statistically speaking - its not worth the cost or effort to equip everyone with a survival suit.
Back in the 70's flying 206's and looking at the white caps and the cold temperatures, I remembered an article I read in an offshore publication about a hypotheria study done by the University of Vancouver. As a result of that study, they developed a cold water jacket for just such occasions. After some effort, I bought a Thermal Float Jacket from Mustang Sportswear and either wore it or carried it with me for years when it was cold- until I, sort of, outgrew it.
Like SAS says statistics are a crap shoot.
