I wouldn't trust much on that site. Notice the stat "Lost Bags (Over 30 Days) By Country. 11 Countries have the same EXACT number of bags lost over 30 DAYS.

  You're certainly right about the 922 number showing up way too often -- that has to be a mistake. It says: > My robot scours social media platforms 24/7 for people talking about their lost luggage and which airlines they flew, in 100+ different languages. By cross referencing that with actual lost luggage data it estimates very closely how much luggage is constantly being lost. I think it needs more transparency on how this is working. There are going to be major cultural differences in terms of how often people complain on social media about lost luggage, and also just differences in frequencies of different terms ("lost luggage", "lost bags", "lost bag", "lost my bag", "lost my luggage") in different languages. I'll trust actual reported lost luggage data, I don't know what the social media robot thing is doing.

  Due to birthday paradox with 46, 2 is reasonably possible. But the numbers are suspect also notice 461 and 1843... Either there is no actual data or they are doing some weird percentage calculations... EDIT: Too many number are divisible by 461...

    In fact, every number in the "Lost bags (last 30 days)" column is an exact multiple of 461 or within 0.04 of a multiple of 461.
