RE:RE:RE:High risk aricraft

I was not comparing it to small aircrafts. Bigger aircrafts are much more crash safe. In fact your observations on 747 are correct. But the big point is, if all electrical equipment fail on 747 you can still land it by gliding using a step pattern decent and you can land it in most of todays airport. Many crashes were averted this way. Given A 380 where would you land it?
