With three crash landings in 21 years with a total of three fatalities, you could do a lot worse.

The first crash landing was due to the Rolls Royce engine design, and the second was pilot error. We’ll see what this third one was from soon enough.

Of course there’s the mystery disappearance of flight MH17 and the one that got shot down...

There is also this one:

The type’s second hull-loss occurred on July 29, 2011, when EgyptAir Flight 667 a 777-200ER registered as SU-GBP suffered a cockpit fire while parked at the gate at Cairo International Airport. The plane was successfully evacuated with no injuries, and airport fire teams extinguished the fire. The aircraft sustained structural, heat and smoke damage. This aircraft was written off. Investigators focused on a possible electrical fault with a supply hose in the cockpit crew oxygen system.

They were lucky it happened at the gate instead of in flight.
