    Reachjatt.....it is actually the opposite of what you are saying......per capita , aeroplanes are actually crashing less frequently than ever before.

    The level of reporting ie. twiiter/facebook from ordinary people is increasing.

    Flying is proving to be undoubtedly the safest of all forms of transport.

    I do realise this will sound wrong, but
    after MH17 Im sure lots of families believe Russia should have been refused access
    to the aircraft until most bits are already collected up...

    And then only severely limited access ... good for the goose?

    i have not had time to read about this crash but i quickly saw that the tail was 5km from the cockpit.

    this indicated a breakup in flight.

    in flight breakup could be due to bomb, missile, structural failure.

    what it generally rules out is ran out of fuel, engine failure, pilot error.

    Unless the structural failure is due to a manoeuvre that exceeded the structural strength of the airframe - and you left out software problems. Remember this plane is a fly-by-wire one.

    But at this stage I'm guessing either a bomb or a structural problem relating to repairs caused the breakup. And if it is a bomb, then ISIS is only one possibility, and not even the most likely one.

    Or a theory put up on radio this morning (not my theory but first time Ive heard it) was that Russia was using the plane as a way to transport 'other items" one of which has gone bang! (conspiracy theory much?? )

    No matter what the result, we will only hear Moscows version of it. Lost a lot of respect for their methods and handling of things after MH17 and Chechnya.

    An American satellite detected a " heat flash" from the airliner, when it broke up. The jury is out on what caused it. BIG BROTHER really is everywhere.

    Was it a bomb or did the tail break off because of stress fractures resulting from a previous tail-dragging incident? Who knows - only time will tell.
