Ten Plane Crashes That Changed Aviation

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.

You don't need to know where Tenerife is, as long as you know what happened
there, and why it was significant...

I would think you could at least double the list, and still be missing some
very important disasters/near disasters that have had large effect on
aviation.

You do have to consider the source. PM is a fairly good magazine, but it is a little enquirer-like...

I buy it once in a while, so I can get a good laugh. At it, and there are
no joke pages, unless you consider all of the articles. g

Huh? I find it hard to understand someone who, when faced with a
place the location of which was unknown to them, would not look it
up in an atlas.

Possibly the same kinds of people who don't refer to a dictionary
when faced with an unknown word.

Huh? What does 'dictionary' mean?
