Well done. Didn't take long to spot the idiots.
Just a comment. Russia is not exactly renowned for top notch aviation servicing and maintenance and there have been a few reports in the past of blind drunk pilots.
That came out when the Russian aircraft crashed on way to the Katyn Forest rememberance service a few years ago. Polish leader amongst the dead and conspiracy theorys abound.
Aircraft are the only way to go if you want to fly. Well for us mortals anyway.

I wasn’t suggesting Gromit that YOU were “waiting to pounce” merely making an observation that many people do.
I personally have no interest in this particular topic, so wouldn’t bother to read any of the links.
AOG’s original question does not say “There are more crashes” nor does his second posting. He appears to me to be inviting opinions rather than giving his own.

Another problem is the issue of lithium batteries. Not just the ones that are part of the aircraft but the batteries that are in passengers` PEDs. There have been more than one diversion due to them overheating and they tend to have a habit of getting dropped into seat mechanisms which can cause them to crush and start smouldering. A modern day risk that didn`t exist in years gone by.
So to increase your chances of survival
1. travel by glider... as they can't run out of fuel
2. Fly alone............less chance of hijacking
3. Don't take luggage....reduces the risk of bombs/ hazardous luggage
4. Use an old plane .....as design flaws will have been elimijated
5. Don't have a radio...... to eliminate air traffic control mistakes
6. Stay close to the ground to avoid bird strikes, lightning and bad weather.
7. Stay on the ground ...as most fatal air accidents involve impact with the ground.
8. Keep well away from anything that has Russian writing on it..including maps.
