Is it me or has there been rather a lot of plane crashes recently?
Another today http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/8151327.stm
Think I will holiday in the UK again this year! :y

Youve got a point.
Not been on a plane for years, and unlikely too for a while.
as on average its the safest transport....should be ok for a while now.
Anyone heard anything of the old bermuda triangle lately?

Havent been on a plane for 30 years, but when I get the chance I fancy going on a cruise and venture off to the States for a while.

Would love to do that. Not been to the states since I worked there in 2002/2003. :'(

Must put the co-ordinates into my GPS in case I accidentally overfly it in my glider. :y
The aicraft, reportedly a Tupolev,...
Say no more. :-X

What about this one http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8149910.stm
To me it is pathetic that they tried to do this.

I saw that one too. Ridiculous thing to do! ::)

I think the two Air France aircraft crashes were more disturbing than this latest one, with the former consisting of modern, apparently well maintained, aircraft, but with the Iranian Tupolev plane I do not believe this can be said.
It certainly will never put me off flying, and indeed I am booked to fly to Florida in December. You still have a greatly increased chance of dying in a car than an airplane. ;) ;)

However, the flowers were sucked into the plane's engine causing it to catch fire and explode.
So, this is presumably a rotax about the size of a shoe box and it "caught fire and exploded"? Bit of creative journalism - surely not from the BBC. :o

Very true. Not that I would know! The scariest moment on a plane for me was flying from Manchester to Edinburgh on business. It was a prop plane and I sat down and leaned on the side to look out the window. The whole panel just dropped off. :o :o
I sheepishly called the steward over and he said it happens all the time!! :o :o

Can be quite sobering scottie, I got caught in a thunder storm over Belgium in a Gazelle rotary wing many years ago -not a nice experience.
Spoilt a very nice outing and made the CO bear-like for the remainder of the tour ;D ;D
The subsequent site inspections were rigorous to say the least. :( :(

I tend to agree with you there Zulu, as the credit crunch has to hit their industry with greater effect if they wish to stay in the running :( .

challenging g-force can be deadly sometimes.. :(
I myself also dont like to fly (if I have wings thats ok ;D) ..
but anyway forced to from time to time..
the last time I was flying from cyprus to istanbul.. everybody in the airplane drink too much except me..
because I know on the marmara sea there are always air holes which make you really bad..
anyway when we reach over marmara air holes start their job, the plane start falling and everybody start to puke ;D ;D
