    So, I know that access to information has made it seem like violent crime is happening more often even though it’s actually been trending down. And I’m just wondering if that same phenomenon is happening with plane problems. Because it feels like there’s a new issue with a Boeing plane every fucking day and I’m just wondering if that’s due to an increase in reporting or if Boeing planes are actually blowing up more often than they used to.

      Are you sure? Car jackings are up 37% in Chicago this year already. I would consider armed robbery and armed carjacking to be violent, and those are up, it’s homicides that are down it seems.
