What I mean is the aviation incidents have been quite shocking and peculiar. Mh370 goes missing without a trace. Mh17 is shot down.
Then, it just so happens that several incidents all were clumped together. Foreign airliners crash at a much higher rate than US, but the manner which the two MH flights have gone down is very shocking for such a short period of time.
Maybe it's just perception bias because we hear a lot about crashes around the same timing, but we'll have to look at the data to see if planes indeed crashed way more than in previous years or not.
