Just a reminder!! Before OTC Clowns Inc. can disparage our plane here is the top 3 safest passenger jets in aviation history.
1. Airbus 340
The A340 has approximately the same number of flying hours as the 777 and remains accident-free, making it number one is safety.
Number in service: 355
Boeing 777
2. Boeing 777
At one accident per eighteen-million hours of flying, the Triple-Seven is number two in safety. And, in that one accident, everyone survived.
Number in service: 792
Boeing 747
3. Boeing 747
When Boeing first considered building a plane that would carry 500 passengers, the board of directors was skeptical. People had gotten used to hearing of an air crash with one-hundred or so fatalities. So, the thinking was, if Boeing invested all its resources in a 500-passenger plane a crash could so traumatize the public that passengers would refuse to fly it. "No problem," the engineers said, "We are going to build an uncrashable airplane." And they almost did. The record shows about seventeen-million hours per accident, but two of those had nothing to do with the quality of the plane: the collision of two 747s on the runway in the Canary Islands. Due to misunderstanding communications from the tower, a KLM 747 took off when not cleared for takeoff, striking a Pan Am 747, destroying both planes.
