What is Happening?

Is air travel safe anymore? I have noticed story after story this month about deadly plane crashes.

Aug 8th Monticello Utah 3 dead
Aug 9th Bear Lake Utah 2 dead
Aug 10th Rock Springs Wyoming 3 dead
Aug 20th Madrid Spain 154 dead
Aug 22nd Moab Utah 10 dead
Aug 22nd Las Vegas Nevada 3 dead
Aug 24th Guatemala City Guatemala 10 dead
Aug 24th Bishkek Kyrgyzstan 68 dead

Thats 253 people, and thats just the ones I know about and August isn't over!

Scary

I have learned that my brother-in-law was closely connected to those lost in the plane crash in Moab.

That's kind of a morbid facination, Aaron. Who keeps track of that stuff? :)

It's not that I keep track. I just look at the major headlines almost every day and was hearing stuff every day it seemed. It only took a minute or two to compile that list. I'm not fascinated by it, just shocked. I don't know if I'll ever ride in a small air plane.
