Obviously it must be statistical, but every week you hear about a new crash. I just heard on the radio that over 1700 people have already died this year on commercial flights, making it the worst year in aviation history. I thought we were done after the Japan 747 and Dallas L1011, then the news about the England 737 and the 5 emergency landings of flights yesterday in Japan due to odd engine and structural problems. Makes one think twice before taking that trip. -- Neal Macklin (408) 737-5214 ...{hplabs,ihnp4}!amdahl!nzm10 [There are no opinions expressed in this article].
