[edit] Problems witth the numbers

Someone have introduced fresh information about new crashes, but have forgotten to add the new stat info in the first paragraph.

[edit] crashes vs. hard landings

The list seems to be inconsistent as to the degree of damage sustained by an aircraft. Photos suggest that some of the incidents resulted in rather limited damage to the aircraft.

To be in accordance with the definition set out in the article, one would need the information in which cases AC was written off. (Still recent gross numbers of US helicopter losses in OIF and OEF would indicate that number of AC written off is even higher than the number of events listed on this site).
