Not true.... There was literally a crash just over two weeks ago on May 3, 2019. Miami Air International Flight 293, a B737-800 operated by a 121 passenger charter airline, crashed resulting in a total hull loss. All human passengers survived while 3 pets onboard were killed. The aircraft over ran the runway and ended up in a river.
