66 people who were on the Yemeni plane were French nationals. There were a total of 72 on flight 447, so that makes a total of 138 French people killed in planes that crashed into the ocean in the last 30 days.

Who also made the USAirway plane that went down in the Hudson, I believe. Hope no one has stock in Airbus.

Weezie, it is much more likely that you would be involved in a car accident, than a plane accident. If you need a companion, feel free to buy me a tix, I'll fly with you. ;) ;) ;)

Weezie - If you aren't French, you probably are ok. ;)

I will admit to looking at booking a flight last night and I thought about avoiding legs that used an Airbus aircraft. (I don't think a bus was meant to fly.)
