It is a real success that the pilot was the only person in the plane. Now when the year 2010 comes to and end we can re-think all accidents which we had in the last year. The biggest problem is not in those accidents. There always will be some. The biggest problem is in our hospitals. In some of them there are working unprofessional doctors and people are not satisfied with the quality of those services. Some doctors don't even have cna certification. So what can we talk about? Let's hope that in the next year the situation will get better. Thanks for the great website of yours.
