Granted, the headline could be a little more specific, but I don't think anyone is trying to minimize the air tragedies that have occurred in other countries.
By not even mentioning them in passing, you end up minimizing them; or worse. Yes, I

Everything gets indexed and google-ized. Errors of omission are just as confusing as errors of commission. See: wikipedia
