I have been reading about accidents, And I notice and proud to say that VS has had no major accidents since it has been in service:D:)

What website lists the stats?

Well that is no accidents including fatalities.

There has been the major incident with the undercarriage on a LAX flight on China Girl a nubmer of years ago.

And as with most airlines, there have been deaths during flight.

Thanks,
Richard

I was sufficiently interested in the incident that China Girl had, to go searching the interweb, and found this - possibly the oldest BBC News online story there is!

That article did look very strange compared to the normal BBCI graphics

I was looking at a few websites this afternoon and it seems Europe generally has way fewer incidents than north america.

I suppose volume of flights has something to do with this!

I have to say VS are one of the safest airlines with only a few minor incedents to date.
Hong Kong - Kai Tak Fire

New York - John F. Kennedy Engine failure

But every one has problem's once in a while not bad in 20 years:)

Cheers.

I shall win the lottery this Saturday, but I shall not be on the flight that crashes! Odds - the power of self-delusion.

I think we should close this, tempting fate.

Yes, Go ahead and close it.

I was just saying that VS hasn't had a fatal crash on service since 1984.

Ok then, thread locked at your request

Cheers
