Have a great weekend! It has been a tough two day week! We take a look at some statistics. Can you image in the outcry if 24 only economy configured configured 660 passengers) Jumbo Jets crashed in the USA alone, or the outcry if 195 coaches (80 passengers) crashed. There would be demands for changes in the laws requiring more regulations and controls on safety etc. Apart from the fact we would not want to fly in Jumbo’ or coaches. Well that is how many people were killed by guns in 2017 in the USA and nothing is happening.
