Hard to beat other planes that have not had fatal crashes or hull losses, especially when you consider the Tenerife crash.

- WalterBright 3mo agoThe Tenerife crash was due to pilot error, not any problem with the 747.
- timw4mail 3mo agoWhile true, aircraft fatality statistics generally are not split that way. The 747 is a safe aircraft, but there have been a lot of fatalities associated with it, due to pilot error, terrorism, improper repair/maintenance, etc.
