A380 entered service in Oct 2007.
The first B747 crash was in 1974
747s came off the production line faster than A380s.
Commercial aviation safety has improved a lot since the 1970s. Time will tell when the first A380 crashes, not before 2014?
Well, B777's came into service over a decade ago and we haven't lost one yet worldwide. Given the slow rate of production of the A380 I would say statistically that the first crash will be well after 2014.
Crashes from all over the globe, on two, four, six and even eight wheels!
Remember the plane crash in Emmerdale in 1993. I swear there was never a reason announced as to why the plane crashed. And there were no other dead bodies, other than the villagers who perished. A plane usually carries hundreds of passengers. Does anyone know a reason about these things?
Mxsmanic is of course correct.
That said I will indulge you because this is such an obscure reference that I remember from my past back when I could only dream about being an airline pilot.
Allthough no great fan of emmerdale I remember this episode well. With a couple of notable exceptions I generally found it very boring, only watched because I lived with my folks at the time and my mom loved it.
I remember the episode to which you refer as being very controversial at the time because of the similarities with the real life Pan Am 103 terrorist attack and subsequent crash into Lockerbie Scotland.
To answer your questions no reason was given for the crash because it would not have fit with the storyline as in real life such determinations can take months even years. There was an illusion to the fact that because the airplane was from an eastern bloc country they may never find the reason. Again none of this was real!
It was made clear that all on board perished along with some on the ground. No bodies were shown. The reaction of the locals who when looking for survivors came across the deceased from the crash was enough.
Everyone thinks riding motorcycles is dangerous. But I ride one anyways.I have been in a crash before don't know how to prepare for a crash. Say you are speeding and a vehicle comes head on, what should you do if the vehicle is too close to dodge. There are many types of settings before a crash so if anyone has tips for other tips as well on other settings concerning motorcycle crashes please do list them.
A prayer book in one pocket and your insurance card in the other?
All joking aside, Scott H said it right and Janice made some very good points. Never let yourself get hemmed into a spot where you have no escape. You want to be able to apply throttle, cut throttle or swerve to get yourself away from a bad situation. I know this isn't always possible, but the "no escape" situations are really quite rare unless you're an idiot that's looking for trouble.
Incidentally, NEVER prepare for a crash because most likely you'll make it come true. Instead, prepare yourself for a situation where you have to act to avoid a crash.

I was watching the news about the Montana Plane Crash that had 14 people on board including 7 kids. The news reported that at the Crash scene no bodies were recovered. I am wondering, what happens to the bodies, Is the crash soo bad that the bodies turn to dust?
And how do they Identify who was on board?
I'm answering this from experience. When I was in the military, a U. S. jet fighter crashed into an apartment complex and killed over 80. I had to help with the clean-up efforts. First, it is beyond words what I felt. It was a very solemn and quiet task. Body parts are placed in bags and labeled. In some cases there may not be any parts found except for bone fragments. Initially the fire from the jet fuel can be so hot that it can burn bodies to the point of total destruction, but not evaporation. In some cases, when one touches charred skin it peels off. As in 9-11, some remains mainly bone chips aren't found for years later and they can be scattered over a wide area.
