During early flight test? I don't *think* so...

But airliners have been known to kill people on the ground. No manned
spacecraft ever has. So why not ban airliners from flying over
populated areas?

They only do so once in many millions of flights.

And when they do, it tends to be near an airport. So I say that the
statistics strongly suggest we should ban all aircraft from flying
near airports.

I love statistics! :-)

Hey, ever since I learned that 90% of all car accidents occur within 5 miles
of my home, I park my car 5 miles away and walk the rest.
