Have there been more aircraft incedents in the past few weeks than normal? Or is it just that they have been made more aware of? Because of sources such as the web.
To me it just seems odd the amount I have been seeing lately!  :'(

sad news.
I think that because the country is so jumpy right now, even the smallest incident is given a full page report.
Then again there have been quite a few major incidents lately aswell

I have noticed a general increase in reported air accidents (& other types of accident) around this time of year. Whether there are actually more of these types of disaster is debatable. IMHO
I often wonder if this is due to the media reporting them more than usual or that inexperienced people might be flying in less than ideal conditions - visiting friends & family etc.

Page didn't load but accident happen everyday and I think that they are just being known about more, specially now in the holidays
