What's up with all the plane crashes recently?

[Kejtar]

It seems that every other morning there is some private jet or prop plane that has crashed. Are they just getting publicized more or did the frequency of the crashes did go up?

Reduced maintenance probably has alot to do with it and the weather has been a bit strange lately. The big airlines had problems with bogus parts and substandard parts when they started having their aircraft serviced at less expensive off shore facilities 'Hey Jose, go get the APU and compressors from that boeing that wings fell off of last year, we'll use them on this one'. Next time you take an airline flight just think, low bids and OTJ trained overseas mechanics who may not like americans

I think it is due to the elections, the Republican party's philosiphys has caused an increase in the gravity!
It has to do with global warming or something.
Now, If we were to all drive sub-compact, electric cars, turn in our guns, take communion, and shop at Wal-Mart, the gravity would return to normal!

Yes, I'm sure it is the fault of the Republicans in general and Dubya in particular. It must be. Everything else is.
