    Nope. The record for a speed landing is still held by Beagle 2 which currently stands at a Mach 352 High Performance Landing.

    The vast majority of plane crashes occur while the planes are flying.

    Look, if you're going to make wild claims like that, I want to see some statistics to back them up.

    Yea these jokes are in very bad taste. Whenever bones are found it is never a humerus matter.
