Airwave, what are all those accidents with no survivors and no fatalities? Where they ground incidents or what ( maybe it depends on the definition of an accident, which varies from region to region).

Anyway, we have of consequence:
in 2002 the 76 accident that was solely the manufacturer's fault

in 2006 the Morcambe Bay dauphin, solely pilot error (with some underlying questions about training and Ops Man)

in 2009 the nasty L2, down to maintenance issues.

The rest are what? Bumping the rotor blades on the hangar doors when tractoring it in for example? Publishing a list of events, without knowing what they are, is not helpful.
