Yes. I would fly Kenya any day. South African Air might be a little nicer, but both seem to be fine organizations.

“The plane crashed for crying out loud, don’t don’t blame humans living in Africa for what happened.”

You don’t know much about Africa, sounds like...

We will see when the investigation ends where the fault lies. My bet is with the maintenance.

Statistically speaking, airplane travel is far safer than automobile travel. Over 50,000 Americans die every year on the nation’s roads and highways and many times that many are involved in accidents. Yet the rare plane crash continues to draw the big headlines.

Incidents that kill 100+ people AT ONCE usually do draw headlines, as they should.

"People don't fly as much as they drive."

Speaking for yourself of course....

Speaking for most people.

You would think the passengers in the pic you posted would atleast wait until the plan comes to a complete stop before getting off
