How can you compare African carriers to that private Russian jet the picture? You show a complete lack of understanding of how the entire aviation industry works. All airlines, African or not, are governed by the same set of IOSA safety standards, your fiends might not know this, but its not their fault. You might want to check IATA/IOSA delinquency register before you publish such stereotypical drivel. The polish president's plane crashed in Russia/ air France crashed into the Atlantic ... do you fear European aviation standards as a result? When was the last African airline crash? And was it caused by anything uncommon in global aviation? September 11 occurred because people were allowed to bring knives on board... is a crocodile in a bag any more lethal than a knife?

I'm comparing the plane that crashed to the one in the picture because they're the same kind of plane, and there wasn't a photo available of the one that crashed.
If you think the IOSA has a close oversight over a Congolese bush airline as they do over an EU carrier you are seriously naive.
When was the last African plane crash? Two days ago, on October 22, also in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Two people died.

And I'm not saying all African airlines are bad. Read the second sentence of my article.
