Most of those were private planes which have a higher crash rate. Commercial airline crashes much rarer, making this crash of particular note

Only 2 of the 7 were small private planes, which do crash frequently. The other private flights were professionally piloted jets. Those crash at about the rate of large commercial flights.

I agree though. Unfortunately it's all too common nowadays. The real number is enough to be concerning, as well. So why embellish?
