The past three years have been one of the safest periods in aviation history in the US, with only 34 people killed in US commercial airline crashes.
On 29 October 2004, a Corporate Airlines twin-engine turboprop crashed on approach to the Kirksville Regional Airport, Missouri. A total of 13 people died - the only fatalities aboard US scheduled airlines for the year.
The last US crash of a jumbo jet was on 12 November 2001, when American Airlines flight 587 came down in New York after losing a part of its tail, killing 265 people.
According to the US Federal Aviation Administration safety has been improved by new technologies, for example the Terrain Awareness and Warning system.
