In 1972, a CX Convair CV-880 was bombed en route from SIN to HKG; all 81 passengers killed. In 1954, a CX DC-4 crashed into the ocean off of Hainan after being shot down by the Chinese military. Details on

Of course, these events were long ago, perhaps unpreventable, and CX still has one of the best safety records out there.
And yes, the press release above sounds awfully suspicious... perhaps the pilots in question would like to go work for Scary, er, Sky Team?
