Some interesting stats there, but I wasn't aware that Qantas has had any fatal accidents - according to this they have had 11!

Also keep in mind that statistics can be used to show what you want - for example (from Wikipedia) there is a strong correlation between US highway fatality rates and the number of tonnes of fresh lemons imported to the US from Mexico - Wiki Link

I must say though, I do like the fact that we have a greater chance of dying from a nuclear accident than flying...
