Airliner Air Algerie disappeared over Northern Africa. Between this, Taiwan, Ukraine....it's been a pretty bad week for aviation! Link v6, boNes

When it rains it pours and Malaysia Air continues to fly its A380 airbus over war torn Syria despite Qatar Airways and Saudi Airlines halting their flights over that country in 2013.

I seem to recall something about yet another small passenger plane missing somewhere in SE Asia earlier this week, but I have forgotten the details.
Either it's really a bad week for aviation, or it's just that mainstream media are currently more "aware" of aviation disasters due to recent events.

Why men throw their lives away attacking an armed Witcher... I'll never know. Something wrong with my face?

Wow, a 380? That will make a big hole. It says MD-83.

Really that would depend on when you start and stop counting, wouldn't it?

The Jedi Master Yeah same with celebrity deaths. I hate that myth/rule. IT certainly depends on when you start and stop counting...AND who establishes the standard for who is a celebrity or not anyway? Oh and the samller plane in SE Asia, yes, that happened in Taiwan. Crashed after returning from an aborted landing in the area of a typhoon. v6, boNes
