[lbo-talk] Plane crashes and globalization

[Jordan Hayes]

> What strikes me is the increasing number of air accidents during the
> past 4 years:
> 1998 - 4 accidents
> 1999 - 2 accidents
> 2000 - 7 accidents
> 2001 - 8 accidents (including 4 planes in 9/11 attack)
> 2002 - 10 accidents
> 2003 - 8 accidents

These numbers aren't statistically significant.  There are nearly
500,000 flights worldwide PER WEEK with nearly 55M passenger seats
available.

Statistically, as they say, "planes don't crash" . . .
