    Flying on a commercial jet is one of the safest forms of transportation. Flying on private aviation or operating in general aviation is about as safe as riding a motorcycle on the public streets in the United States. General aviation is held together with string, duct tape, hope and prayers.

        I mean on average we lose a lot of celebrities in helicopters it seems.

        It’s rare for something like a Learjet to do something like this, though. We’re propagating to the end of life cycle of these planes, and because of capitalism, they haven’t been taken care of properly, so they’ll start falling out of the sky, literally. According to the video of this plane crashing, it doesn’t have a horizontal stabilizer, meaning there was no way they Can stay in control of the pitch of the plane.
