Safety has again been brought to the forefront after yesterday's ill-fated TAM A320 crash in Sao Paolo.

The event is indeed deeply tragic; an Airbus A320 aircraft skidded off the runway onto a busy road,killing nearly 200 people,including some people on the ground as the aircraft spilled onto a petrol station.
