Every airline will have safety incidents, however good its safety culture is. The important point is that BA's safety culture is hard to beat, and that is no doubt why Skipcool3 can feel safe on BA and cite it as a reason for choosing to fly BA, even though there will inevitably be some safety incidents.

Those who like to adopt the tabloid approach of "no incidents = safe airline; incidents = unsafe airline", or of looking for one point in the chain on which to place blame for any incident ("the pilot was at fault / the pilot was not at fault"), are free to do so if they wish. But they immediately show how little they know about aviation safety and the place of good safety culture within it.
