Fatal air crash decline presents safety challenge

It’s been 43 months since the last deadly airline crash in the United States, the longest period without a fatal domestic accident since commercial aviation expanded after World War II.

It's called the news, Sparkie, but it is not about the news anymore. It's about agendas, 24/7 presence and ad sales. As Mel Brooks once said, Gentlemen, we have to protect our phoney baloney jobs! In order to support that agenda, on a slow news day they manufacture it. Unfortunately, on a busy day they send out the food editor to cover the little airplane crash. We should be happy with the current accident rate, which also extends to GA. Sadly I believe most of that is due to the lack of GA activity. There is hope, as the election is nigh. Vote early, vote often.
