From the New York Times story:
"When a reporter asked Mr. Kausner how his family is taking the news that his sister was killed in the crash he said: “I heard my mother make a sound into the phone that I had never heard before. So, not good.” "

What kind of person asks "So, how is your family taking the news that your sister was just killed in a plane crash?" I mean, seriously. Jesus Christ.

Propeller planes always seem more scary. I looked up the stats. Not sure what 'scheduled' means, but looks like big airliners are best. Where's my %$#-ing high speed rail?
Type of Flight Fatalities per million hours
Airliner 4.03
Commuter Airline (scheduled) 10.74
Commuter Plane (unscheduled) 12.24
Private Aviation 22.43
