Answer 1

Do you mean US Airways?

There have been 7 incidents/crashes (not crushes!) involving US Airways in the past 20 years.

There is really nothing to worry about. You're more likely to be killed walking along the street or traveling in a car than on a plane. Flying is one of the safest forms of transport.

Answer 2

air crush, is this where the people either side of your seat are so fat that they "spill" over onto you?

nasty

Answer 3

*Every* airline has had at least one crash, unless the airline is brand new.  It doesn't mean it's not safe.  Most airlines have several hundred, or even a few thousand, flights every day.  So one crash every ten years or so doesn't mean there is a significant risk to you or your flight.

Statistically the most dangerous part of the trip is driving to the airport.  More people are killed by donkeys each year than by airplanes.

Answer 4

I'm going to post a link to all accidents involving UsAir planes since 1971.  But you must know first that you can do a similar search for the other major airlines and get similar results.  Thousands of flights happen safely every day and there hasn't been a crash with passenger fatalities on a major airline in the US since November, 2001.  There have been a number of smaller planes. mostly private aircraft, and a few commuter line crashes, including one operated by USAirways.  But those are smaller planes.  The big jets are very safe.
