Vintage airshows are notorious for crashes because the aircraft are old, and pilots show off. There have been hundreds of crashes in th past, and thecoyple this year are not out of the ordinary. The Shoreham crash resulted in more deaths than normal because the pilot put down onto a busy main road.
The trend in civil airline crashes is down. There are less accidents and less fatalities each year, despite there being ever more aircraft flying.

Of course the Germanwings one wasn't an accident. Not a hugh list.

Although not a regular contributor, I do read all the posts and comments in the news section.
It seems to me that lots of ABers wait for AOG to post something, just so they can pounce on him, and in this particular thread, it’s Canary, even though AOG had only asked a question - not given an opinion.
And whilst I doubt that this intelligent and articulate man needs me to defend him, I just wanted to say - I like you, AOG!

Bigbad,
There is an error in the question that says there are more crashes. But there aren't more crashes. From that error stems the question, Is flying becoming less safe. The answer is that it isn't becoming less safe. In order to answer the question, we need to establish what the facts are, which several of us have done with links to statistics. I was not waiting to pounce on AOG. I answer on many of his questions, and sometimes we even agree.

AOG didn`t say that there are more crashes. He said we seem to have witnessed more aircraft accidents/incidents which is probably true as the ones that happen in the UK or related to UK registered airlines, or happen in the West tend to be higher profile than obscure old coal burners that go down in the middle of Siberia or darkest Africa.
