What’s really amazing is the last two major fatal crashes were by shite regional carriers and there hasn’t been a fatal mainline carrier crash since November 2001 with AA 587.

That’s 20 years of no fatal crashes for major carriers.

The last two fatal crashes were Colgan (Continental Express) 3407 in Buffalo in 2009 and Comair (Delta Connection) 5191 in Lexington in 2006.

That's the one that always gets me. When they describe what happened "well, it was wind shear on the tail fin", it makes me think like "well why doesn't that happen ALL THE DAMNED TIME?".

That shite was scary. It was such a straight-line freefall that it crashed into a neighborhood and only HIT ONE HOUSE.
