There was also Asiana 214 in 2013, which caused 3 fatalities when landing in SF.

Aside from those, it also seems disingenuous to exclude turboprops. 49 more deaths happened in America on turboprops during this millennium. That's not an insignificant number.
- chx 8y agoSWA 1380 I acknowledge of omitting but Asiana 214 is not an US airline. I said there were only three deadly accidents involving a turboprop -- although I admit not remembering the exact counts for each or are you saying there were more than three?
- txcwpalpha 8y agoYour comment says "flying on a jet in the USA". The Asiana accident was on a jet, and was in the USA, regardless of if it was a US based airline or not. Regarding turboprops, your comment seems to be dismissive of those accidents as if they were not as important or relevant, which I disagree with.
