Yeah I was watching this on tv. I'll read it again and see what made this plane crash. I hope for the best for the families that lost someone there.

I see no evidence that plane crashes are becoming any more prevalent. Sucks for the families of the victims. Also it would really suck to have a plane hit your house.

That's terrible...makes my fear of flying even worse. I'm watching them talking about it on CNN now. :( The strange thing about it is that it hit a house...what are the chances of that?

It seems like they report another crashed airplane on the news every week, but of course that don't mean they are more common. Sucks to hear about this though, I hope everyone is alright.

So two crashes happen in a somewhat small time period and suddenly the rate of them is increasing? I don't buy it. There have been crashes (and serious ones at that) in every year since the airplane was invented. 1972 actually had the highest number of deaths due to aviation incidents since WWII. Also more planes in the air of course means there are going to be more accidents but not that flying is any more dangerous.

That still wouldn't work too well. People bailing out over cities and landing all over buildings...then we have the people on the plane trying to get out, it would be pretty chaotic.

2 passenger planes have already went down this year, so yes, it seems to be more than usual...at least for passenger planes and not random small ones.

Agreed, and I think that's all it is. Just saying that it's more common this year than usual.

Even if he actually survived he wouldn't go to prison...he didn't crash on purpose.

Oh, man. One of the victims was the widow of a guy who died in the 9/11 WTC crash.

This family needs to stay away from planes.

Agreed. I heard that from the time the problem first presented itself to when the plane actually crashed was a total of 4 seconds...he really didn't have time to do anything.
