The NTSB maintains a database of all airline accidents that are recorded every year.. I did a basic search with the following parameters:
USA, 2014, Airplanes only, Fatal accidents only -- This returned 147 results of fatal accidents, the majority of which were Pipers / Cessnas / Beechcraft..
Expanding the list to include non-fatal accidents returns 310 results.. So not quite 1 per day, but still a lot of plane crashes.

- japhyr 11y agoIs that 147 accidents with at least 1 fatality, or 147 fatalities? I did a quick search, but there's more information there than I could sort through quickly.
- mikeyouse 11y agoThe former, 147 with at least 1 fatality.
- SomeCallMeTim 11y agoOK, point taken.
