The other day I'd read about a close call at Boston Logan and another

might be to a major airline accident in the US(yikes!).

The other crashes do not affect the probability of a crash in the US. It
is inevitable that eventually there will be a major airline accident in
the US.

Look at the NTSB reports - minor incidents and close calls are quite a
common occurance in the US.
