NTSB Accident Reports by the month showing incidents and fatalities/non-fatals....make of it what you will, just thought there might be some comparisons to be made looking at precious years compared to this one.

That's what you get for not going to the horse's mouth Try this instead, goes al the way to Feb 2000:

NTSB - Accident Synopses

Fascinating. Highly informative I suppose. So why hasn't even one of the recent spate of MD-80 emergency landings made it on to the list?

And if they aren't making the list how useful is the effort at comparison?

Laurane-

I went to the NTSB site and reviewed the last 5 year's January listings:

1-1996 122 incidents; 61 fatalities 1-1997 117 incidents; 77 fatalities 1-1998 114 incidents; 40 fatalities 1-1999 118 incidents; 39 fatalities 1-2000 100 incidents; 146 fatalities

Not taking into consideration any unreported incidents involving MD-80 series aircraft last month, the numbers this year seem to be off when compared to previous years. Y2K or not, I thought this was interesting!
