iRaven, you have drawn conclusions from the top level stats which do not reflect the true status. I have not read every record, but a random dip into those listed include ones damaged by hail, captured by insurgents in Libya, was on board a frigate that sank, was on board a destroyer that sank, destroyed by fire on the Atlantic Conveyor, ran out of fuel. Others just say crashed so there is no indication if it was a technical problem.
Perhaps if you care to analyse all the records and research those where information is scarce you could give an accurate figure for those that could be attributed to the design and manufacture. Otherwise your conclusion could be seen as dubious as you are suggesting the media are guilty of.
