Beverly Eckert, Sept. 11 Widow and neighbor of a friend, died on that flight. Still makes me sad for their family.


What is considered a US airline, and I'm assuming the minimal fatality count is 1 right?

Kobe Bryant's death in 2020 doesn't count? I guess because it was a private charter (and a helicopter, but that's still air travel)?


* 15 years

Still impressive.


Public math. Ugh.
