Thread:Comments:Asiana Boeing 777 crashes upon landing at San Francisco International Airport/US Air Safety Record

Airlines operating in the US have a lot to be proud of. Although the article incorrectly states this is the first major crash at a US airport since 11/2001 (American Airlines 587, crashed in Belle Harbor, NY, after takeoff from JFK), the only intervening major crash was Colgan Air flight 3407, which crashed on approach to Buffalo in 2009, killing 49. Over a 12-year period, that's not bad. Of course it's absolutely tragic for the families who lost loved ones, but the flying public can be grateful for all the hard work done by the NTSB, FAA, ATA, NASA, and many other groups and agencies that have contributed to this excellent record.
