Yes, C - Crash, A - Accident, I - Incident, N - News, R - Report (ie a regulator released an interim or final report on some accident), see the FAQ for delineation. I find it sort of comforting - there are minor incidents (rejected take-off, go-around, engine problems, fumes, cabin pressure, gear problem, ...) every single day, but almost all are resolved without loss of life. And, in all my flying, I've never even experienced one of those minor things (except an air return on the way to Yap). So, things are really pretty safe.
