that site has all the airlines which fly to asia, If you look at the top of the site you can look at any airline in the world by selecting
USA etc

If you click on the individual Airlines Name, it lists ALL
the disasters in the recent history of that airline.

And it has the Deaths per million passenger miles and the
total number of disasters per airline.

I flew china airlines also, and did not like the taepei airport
or the people, i wont fly them again for that reason. If i had checked these stats before i flew, i would NEVER have flown on that airline. My dad and my travel agent asked me, WHY would you look or be interested in stats like that. I thought, HOW CAN I NOT BE INTERESTED................

By the Way the figures for China Airlines, if i amm not mistaken,
Do NOT, include the most recent crash, they added 1 to the number of
incidents, and included an account of the wreck on the link if you click china Airlines, But the total number of fatalities per million passenger miles is the same as it was before the accident, i am assuming since they dont know the total number of fatalities yet since it is so early.

On the cockpit recorder of one of the China Airlines MD-80s that crashed a few years ago, the computer was saying over and over again, "Terriain! PULL UP." The final words on the recording were of one pilot asking the other in Chinese, "What does Pull Up mean?"

Hi Jeff,

This is my favorite:

Russian International Airways
Airbus A310-304
Mezhdurechensk, Russia
23 March 1994

The aircraft crashed after entering a zero G spin. The Captain was allowing his 15-year-old son to fly the airplane when the boy applied full deflection to the yoke, causing the autopilot to disengage and the aircraft to roll nearly 90°. The First Officer then pulled back on his yoke to attempt recovery, but the aircraft stalled and entered a spin from which recovery was not possible.

The last intelligable words on the cockpit tape were, "Daddy, what does this do?"

I forgot to mention...everyone on board was killed, of course. 75 people.
