re: #294 The Vicious Babushka

583 fatalities, worst disaster in aviation history (I just Googled it)

Yep. Though if you want to kill a lot of people you sink ships*. Trap them and dump them into an environment that is generally fatal to humans.

Sultana, Titanic, etc. Over 4,300 killed with the Dona Paz (a ferry in the Philippines in 1987.) Seems to take some sort of mass disaster to get the safety or equipment laws modified.
