It is the unacceptable accident rate that is the special case, not the continent where those accidents take place,
@ teddy Robinson, post#18
The accident rate may well be unacceptable in a civilised, western country......you're relating the Western attitudes to a 3 rd world
where corruption is endemic and life is worthless, the only law that seems to be obeyed is that of Samuel Colt....witness the casual acceptance of the bodies being looted.
maybe a few of the bigwigs in their Air ministry really do aspire to first-world standards of operation......but it isn't going to happen any time soon....the man on the street does not have Western ideals, concience and morality.
Darwin rules, let them get on with it....We're pissing against the wind, trying to drag a 18th. century civilisation into the 21st. century.....I guess that's why so many intelligent, upright and concientious people leave the dark continent.
AHHH feel better now!
