fuck. Condolences to the families.

Great, the wife is flying back from China tomorrow. She'll be here Saturday. I almost hate planes anymore.

Almost all plane crashes seem to be light aircraft or domestic flights. Occasionally an Indian Airbus will go down. Perhaps something to do with safety checks? The only major western international flight I can think of that went down was Concorde and that was because they hadn't updated the plane in 40 years. Moral of the story, fly internationally or get the bus.

the moral of the story is that the chances of dying in a plane crash are 1 in 11 million.

this happened in upstate NY, 400 miles from NYC

there are tons of international flights that crash over the years.

most of the ones in '08 happened were International flights
