Well I'm deeply, deeply offended that the title says "since last major crash," when literally hundreds of thousands of people have been killed in crashes (of the automobile or train variety) in that time span. Limiting this discussion to airline crashes totally trivializes all of those lives that have been lost.

I wouldn't include trains in that 100,000 category -- in 2010, 705 people were killed by trains, versus 32,000+ in auto accidents.

And this is TravelBuzz. At the moment I count 8 threads on the front page that are not specifically related to flying.
