    I know his wife wasn’t on board but I’m really hoping for confirmation that his children weren’t.

    Michael Jackson was a big one. I was working at Target as a cashier one summer and a bunch of people came in and kept buying his CDs. Finally after the 3rd I asked someone if he died because she was the third person to buy his CD in the last 15 minutes at my register

    there hasn't been a commercial US airline crash since 2009, it's ridiculously safe. if I was worth a billion dollars I'd still fly commercial.

    True, although that’s also due to the way “commercial flight” is defined. As far as large passenger jets flown by major airlines go, it’s very safe. But there are plenty of publicly-offered flights, such as tour companies, that most people would consider a “commercial flight,” which go down every year.

    Pretty sure the Gulfstreams aren’t the ones that crash, single and twin prop enthusiasts though....

    Helicopters seem to be on a different level, even in the military it seems they go down a ton

    This is only the 4th crash of this helicopter type since it was introduced in the 70's, helicopters are much safer than you think.
