How odd is a cluster of plane accidents

[mhm]

In the space of eight days, three passenger planes have been lost in mid-flight. A cluster of accidents so close together may seem an unlikely coincidence but is it?

The first accident happened on Thursday 17 July, when Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 fell from the sky over eastern Ukraine, apparently brought down by a missile. Seven days later a plane crashed in Taiwan (above), and on the eighth day another flight went down en route to Algeria from Burkina Faso. In all, 462 people are thought to have died.

I noticed for quite a number of years - these happened near a certain religion festival ( people who face a certain direction when praying ) and near the Chinese Lunar tomb sweeping month & 7th month ( Ghost month ).

It is scaring !
