What’s Happening In The Skies?!

Maybe it’s just me but I can’t remember so many plans accidents in just one week. The Spanish one was the biggest and the most serious incident but there were other smaller cases too.

When a small airplane that carries two or three people crashes it is usually due to the pilot error or to his inexperience but when a big plane that belongs to civilian aviation suffers the same destiny it is usually presumed to be a mechanical issue or safety violation.

Just yesterday the accident of the Boeing 737-200 is probably the result of the weather.

Check out the Aviation Safety Net statistics on all occurrences during 2008, reading the description of the accidents and the reasons is something that might be important for any person in the field.
