Re: Big Bird Takes Off (and lands safely)
True - considering the widebodies put up in the air over the last few years, there have yet to be any fatalities on A330s, A340s and 777s.

Only Air China (2002) and Korean Air (1997) have lost 747 hulls in flight, Singapore bent one on a closed runway in 2000 and of the other deaths associated with 747s since 1997 most have been individual deaths from turbulence, cigarette smoke (yes really).

It really is true that you are more likely to be involved in a crash on the M25 on the way to LHR than you are a plane crash once you are there.
