Excluding todays incident, and estimated 108 people have died world
wide in air disasters this year.
Last year 580, including 13 people on the ground.
2006- 561
2005- 927 + a few on the ground.
2004- 284
Yes we should really be worried about air disasters.

If your name is Duhg no doubt. But balance that against the number of
passengers that travel by air and you will see that its actually the
safest way to travel.
