The 777 is the safest ever plane with 5 hull losses, two of which were due to Malaysia Airlines "issues". And it is a fly by wire aircraft.

That characterisation feels a bit unfair on MH, who certainly weren't at fault for the plane shot down over Ukraine, and may not have been responsible for the disappearance MH370 either, depending on which theory you think is most likely.

I'm not blaming MH "issues" on the airline, I'm just also not blaming them on Boeing.

A380 has zero hull losses and zero fatalities.
