The list doesn't mention one single crash that happened outside of
North America. Is that a reflex of the worldview of American media?
Yes - it is a perfect example of US myopia.
I would have thought that the Tenerife disaster made an impact.
Indeed it did. But most US citizens would not have a clue where Tenerife
is.
We did at the time. It was in all the papers.
