>Flying on a 737 MAX—even including the fatal crashes due to MCAS—remains quite literally the safest way to travel by both time and distance.
There are 2,698 A320neos in service that have been involved in two fatal accidents, with no passenger fatalities.
The first was when an A320neo struck a motorbike that mistakenly entered the runway during the aircraft's landing. The two riders on the motorbike were killed and no passengers were injured.
The second incident was when an A320neo struck a firetruck that mistakenly crossed the runway during the aircraft's takeoff. Two firefighters were killed and no passengers were injured.
Boeing 737 MAX: 1,144 built, 346 passenger deaths.
Airbus A320neo: 2,698 built, 0 passenger deaths.
There are multiple aircraft types that have had 0 passenger fatalities. There is one aircraft family that is not only statistically safer than the 737 MAX, but also safer than the entire 737 family: the ERJ.
The A320neo sprang to mind instantly but I looked it up and the Dreamliner is safer with 1,048 built and 0 passenger (or other) fatalities.
Your statement is completely false.
Ludicrously false.
Maliciously and purposefully false?
