these days? If no one flies at all, I suppose all flights will be cancelled, so then there won't be any crashes at all.

But I want to ask just how many planes have crashed lately? Oh, and I mean specifically commercial planes. So, how many? A hundred? A dozen? Oh, that's right. Exactly one since 2009. Oh, dear lord, how unsafe!
