Any time a russian plane crashes, does another putin enemy become an angel? (44 dead, just horrible)

The plane that crashed in Fl. was carrying military personnel. Hmmm (TG they all survived)

The plane crash in Mexico is scanty on details, but it is the 3rd one in a week. (no survivors, hope they didn't suffer)

Or; there are thousands off flights world-wide every day and you just happened to watch the news where something happened in areas that have media attention

Check out the monthly reports published by the NTSB. Most of these fatal accidents involve private aircraft (which is what one of the recent crashes involved). For example, just last month, between April 2 and April 4 there were two fatal accidents and 6 nonfatal accidents. On April 8 and 9, there were three fatal accidents. On April 22, four fatal accidents. Back up another month: on March 8 there were two fatal accidents, March 9 another two fatal accidents and on March 10, three fatal accidents. In most cases only one or two fatalities occurred. However two of the fatal crashes in the March 8-10 period involved 14 and 157 fatalities.

"There haven't been a cluster like this for awhile."

Can you provide data to support that claim?
