How do you know this has nothing to do with those other incidents? What was the cause of this one? Asiana was an unfortunate landing accident. Both avoidable. Same same.
The ill informed and the breathlessly excited will no doubt think otherwise, but there will be few professional pilots here who haven't been in similar circumstances that simply had a luckier outcome.
You are saying that this incident isn't as bad as the others simply based on the "luckier outcome"? It could have been just as bad or even, potentially, far worse.
