If you take the time to understandaviation safety a bit more......
then you will understand that these things(incidents) do happen on occasion to airlines around the world. However, for some airlines, it happens at a much higher rate. You certainly bring up names of carriers where incidents happen at a higher rate.
A recent safety study put two of the three carriers you mention as among the worst fatal accident rate among 60 major airlines studied. Garuda wasn't one of the 60 so could not make into the worst category.

As a friend of mine reported on landing an A-10, when asked by the tower about braking action,
"Poor on the runway, fair to good on the grass". Luckily, just one main slide off and was quickly brought back to pavement. Still, muddied.

Akili,
I hope that you can find a cure for your short man's complex. Your obvious pleasure at the misfortune of a fellow aviator is fairly disgusting.
Have you had the pleasure of taxiing a jet in these weather conditions?

.....Serious question:
Why would taxiing a 'Jet' on a taxiway.....contaminated or not.....be any more of a risk than a non jet aircraft of a similar weight and size?
Just curious, that's all......
