Anyone else noticed the huge number of air crashes that have occured in the last month?

Anyone else noticed that all the aircraft were Boeing 737's?

It's weird to think that the B52 will be around 80 years old when they retire it...! :-o

Anyway, I think the who 737 fleet should be grounded. Then replaced with something better... From Airbus ;-)

So what are we going to do for the next 20 years while we wait for airbus to try and build something better then a 737??
