That is one of the bizarre things about statistics. Disraeli was right in describing statistics.

Racer, you read more carefully. Must have done well in reading comprehension tests at school.

Originally posted by MarkJerling Statistically, yes, very safe. What's the chances of Malaysia losing another airplane after that?
But tht reasoning is one of the fallacies of statistics, invoked by many gamblers, to their detriment.

Originally posted by clackers They could probably be well advised to change their name.
Like Lufthansa, IIRC, they continued to fly over the East Ukraine despite the danger.
At the time the advice was that there were no weapons on the ground that could get to full cruising height, and the flight was at normal cruising level. I recall the airspace restrictions were about 30,000 feet and they were higher. I know someone with a friend on board who had posted a facebook to the effect of feeling unusually nervous before departure. Not the same person as posted the video of people loading stuff into the overhead lockers.
