Don't forget that qantas only flies around 100 planes, compared to over 700
united planes. A lot of flights in the US are very short shuttles with the
planes operating constantly like buses. I'm not surprised american carriers
have a lot of accidents.

I'd be a bit worried if a qantas jet flew over me and a large chunk of
engine fell off, just like a few months back near brisbane. Luckily it was
over water at the time. It could just as easily fallen off in Sydney over
land.
