I wonder if anyone has noticed the recent increase in air travel accidents? Over the past month, there have been five major accidents:

On August 2, an Air France Airbus A340-400 overshot a runway in Toronto, everyone miraculously survived.
On August 6, a Tunisia Tuninter crashed off the coast of Sicily, killing 16.
On August 14, a Helios Airways Boeing 737 crashed north of Athens, Greece, killing 121.
On August 16, a West Caribbean charter aircraft crashed in Venezuela after the pilot reported both engines died.
On August 23, a TANS Peru aircraft, another Boeing 737, crashed in the Peruvian jungle and split in two.

I know it’s coincidence, but that really makes August a bad month for air travel!
