Oh that's really interesting. Am I alone in the impression there were an unusual number of Asian (specifically) airliners that disappeared or crashed under unusual circumstances?

I've recieved some other numbers (12; aviation-safety.com for 2014) but the consensus is that 2014 is the safest year on record.



Probably not.

Considering that airline crashes are exceedingly rare on a per flight or per distance basis, what, exactly, are the usual circumstances of airline crashes?
