TU - 154

Some companies are still flying TU-154. I would never think that any normal person would fly it after reading a history of the accidents from wiki:

There have been 67 serious flight incidents with Tu-154s, including 37 hull-losses involving fatalities. Incidents have resulted from mechanical problems (two cases prior to 2001), running out of fuel on unscheduled extended route, pilot error, and cargo fires.

There are less then 200 planes left flying in the world and we already see 3 major TU-154 accidents in 2010. I would never fly the plane if travel agency only gave me 98-99% of success on landing :)
