You have to feel for this poor woman

This Sydney lady lost 3 relatives in both the Malaysian airplane crashes. How unlucky can you be.

In Australia cancer accounts for 3 in 10 deaths. 

In Australia heart attacks account for 14 in 100 deaths.

I would guess that the other stats are way off also.

I think that might be if you counting old people who die of "natural causes".  My mother died of heart failure at the age of 87.  Actually, that is what happens when old person dies.  Also by that age many have some kind of cancer.

The other stats most likely only look at premature death.

No, these are official statistics, of ALL people.

(Heart failure is not a heart attack)

I know the traffic crash figure and the drowning figure is wrong (for Australia)

Funny but at least one passenger commented to friends before the flight "lightening doesn't strike twice" how wrong can you be?
