Yeah, but that's my point. Planes go missing somewhat regularly, and sometimes even get blown out of the sky intentionally. It's news for a week or two. So why go through the trouble of getting on a plane and blow it up in the sky (and kill yourself in the process) when you can just blow up something like a music star's concert and get more media attention, and even survive the whole thing.


I only see one major domestic commercial airline crash in the last decade.

Blowing up a concert doesn’t cause nearly the fear even if people stay away from concerts - no one cares. Airlines are different.
