Ten Plane Crashes That Changed Aviation

The list doesn't mention one single crash that happened outside of
North America. Is that a reflex of the worldview of American media?

Yes - it is a perfect example of US myopia.

Indeed it did. But most US citizens would not have a clue where Tenerife
is.

Quite unfair John.

Last I heard Bush was planning to bomb the Canary Islands to
halt the spread of bird flu.
