Oh yeah, I completely agree. I think a lot of the incidents have been overblown too.

Another plane lost steering power or braking power and ended up running off a taxiway here in Pittsburgh. It was a commuter jet. I believe it was a Saab 340.

You'll notice the media picks up on a big story and then the following days the media will pick up on any story similar to the big story.
