Be careful. Try reading the Noggie MORs before you spout forth. If, of course, you are allowed to see them!!!
A miss maybe a good as a mile on any other world but ours.
Absolutely. I cringe every time I see people comparing the safety record across the sea. There have plenty of very near misses on the norwegian side in the last couple of years that were averted by nothing more than shear luck, and nothing to do with culture! With 2 CFITS in the UK sector in 5 years, this could very easily have happened in the Norwegian sector and more. It is always a problem when people lean too heavily on statistics. It is a lazy way to asses a problem. The same problems exist there, believe me!
