> It shows me how hard it is to notice the absence of something. I was not aware that no US airline had crashed in the past 15 years. And I didn’t realize what an incredible safety record this represents, given how many people are boarding flights every day.
Pure luck though with the whole Boeing thing. There's no particular reason why those 350-odd dead in two crashes couldn't have happened to an US airline. (It would've been better for aviation safety if it did).
