Note this is a 737-200, operated by a seedy African operator. Considering the 737-200 is 4 decades old while the MD-11 is two, of course a 737-200 is going to crash because they're cheap. And when they're cheap, anyone can get one. And when anyone can get one, of course you going to have a **** stick pilot up front.

Heard of pilot error? Accounts for most accidents. But then again, of course you wouldn't know that. Hell, you can't even tell the seat difference between an MD-11 and a 737.

200 MD-11's verse 1144 737-200's. 5 MD-11 hull losses since 1985. 99 737-200 hull losses since 1967.

1100/2, as the 737-200 has been in service twice as long as the MD-11.

550/2.5, because in a span of 20 years there was 2 and a half times more 737-200's produced than MD-11's.

200 MD-11's vs. 220 737's. About equal right? Hell, its even in your favor.

5 MD-11 losses vs. 100 737-200 losses, divided by 2 and then divided by 2.5.

Simple math. Did you learn simple math John, or were you too busy chewing on the lead in your pencils at school?

5 losses for every 200 made and 19.8 737-200 losses for every 220 made. Let us not forget the number of cycles, which must be at least 1 MD-11 landing to 3 737 landings, even more perhaps, the small ****ty African airlines procuring 732's while no one can afford MD-11's, the entire aging of the airframe, which is double that of the MD-11 population.

Frankly Johnny, your argument is bull****. Like I said, 4200 737's made and 200 MD-11's made. In total, 21 737's for every one MD-11. You just cant compete with that, and your a fool if you think you can.
