Three crashes inside of a week is pretty damned unusual. But in 2011, for instance, there were six accidents involving planes carrying at least 50 passengers by the end of July.

I look at that list and only see 2 major airliner type disasters for all of 2011 and both were far less people than the crashes this year. This year definitely seems an abnormality in terms of large airliner/multiple fatality type crashes.
