The 15 Most Dangerous Airlines in the World

wikimedia.com

Flying is safer than driving a car, right? That’s the argument most use when trying to calm nervous jet-setters. Unfortunately, the comforting numbers skew depending on where you are in the world.

LaMia Airlines Flight 2933 crashed in Colombia this week, killing 76 people, mostly composing members of the Chaperones Brazilian football squad. Little is known about the chartered jet’s safety rating, and it has spurred questions about just how secure the flight was.

The European Union has had concerns over international airlines for years. They publish a banned airline list marking companies in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Indonesia and Iraq as too dangerous to fly over Europe.

AirlineRatings.com takes it a step further, rating some of the world’s most dangerous airlines. According to the site, which awards points based on an analysis of crash data and Operational Safety (IOSA) and Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) audits, 15 world airlines scored lower than a two on a seven-point scale.

The airline based in Indonesia scored a 2/7.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
