    I'm not sure of the truth of the following statement but I've heard it said that airlines receive few complaints from passengers after fatal crashes. By which I assume this includes complaints from survivors. People complain more about lost baggage, etc.

    Yeah, it really takes an incredible amount of luck to happen to be driving along in an open topped bus when it's involved in an accident and topples over on its side spilling bodies all over the place! I wish I was that lucky.

    There were people the other day saying how lucky they were to have been on a Jumbo jet which had a hole the size of a Transit van blown in its side by an exploding oxygen cylinder. Jammy bastards, eh.
    I guess this chap didn't have the luck - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7535840.stm
