I think the point is it's not the aircraft type - it's that freight operations are more likely to finish up in a crash than a passenger plane

this weeks "Flight" quotes a Rosaviatsia study showing that in 56 landing incidents of "large transport aircraft" 1991-2016 93% resulted in the aircraft running out of runway and 37.5% happened in poor weather. Looks like there is a systemic issue here
