Another perspective:

Airbus fatalities are 0.481 per aircraft

Boeing fatalities are 0.998 per aircraft

Of course, this is skewed by the 9-11 atrocity

Actually, not by much. You would remove 266 fatalities from the overall total of 9420 Boeing fatalities - not much impact on the average numbers.

Thanks. It seems like whenever there’s an incident with an Airbus, people like to use this as a pretense to bash the French, the Europeans in general, or French engineering and manufacturing etc., whereas Airbus has actually proven to be about twice as safe, per aircraft, as Boeing. Regarding the 9-11 atrocity, someone else pointed out that it does not change fatality rates by very much.
