Giant ape grabs girl, girl screams at ape, ape climbs Empire State Building, biplanes shoot at ape, ape puts down girl, ape falls to his death, girl cries over dead ape. I've seen it a thousand times, Smitty, and it doesn't get any easier.
There is more that goes into an airplane than the people maintaining or assembling it, which can and does go afoul. There is the entire manufacturing process, how materials are sourced, processed, refined, machined/formed, heat treated, stress relieved, coated/plated, assembled, and the list goes on. That is a major factor why aircraft are so safe and if you think China's material and process controls are as rigorous as someone like Boeing or Airbus, it isn't. It has taken decades of actual aircraft manufacturing to get the formula right for those respective companies and they continue to evolve as time goes on and new information is learned.
We tested Comac parts for FAA certification. When you've tested parts for decades you can pretty much nail down the cause of the failure be it design, process, materials, a combination and so forth.
Also the c919 is only certified in China. It can't fly in the US or Europe.
You can go to this FAA Link and view "Records of Accidents and Incidents. Takes a bit to learn to interpret the data but there are a lot of incidents. If I recall it includes both commercial and general aviation.
I actually think the year is wrong? I found this image of the August 30, 1905 eclipse path which would have been seen over Egypt. There was an eclipse on August 20, 1906 but no where near Egypt.
Oh boy I just turned into one of those "well actually" guys. I wasn't trying to prove anything wrong. It got me interested in the 1906 eclipse and when I started looking into it things didn't quite line up. This post spurred my curiosity!

What a great image. You've got a guy on the far left eating elbow, the big beard guy with chipmunk teeth and the longest arm I've ever seen. Then when you look at the rest the crowd I don't think anyone's hands makes sense and I'm trying to make the T-shirt spell something but I just get Boabaneter?

SECOND BROTHER: And Saint Attila raised the Hand Grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this Thy Hand Grenade that, with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits in Thy mercy."

I agree we know what needs to happen but a rapid phase out of fossil fuels is not something I see the world fully commiting to anytime soon, hence some other clever solution which I admit I have no idea what that would be.
I wonder what the ball to boob sag ratio is. Is it a 1:1 as you get older or do the boobs start off slow then surpass the balls in the retirement years? Maybe the balls lead the entire way. I don't know but either way gravity sucks.
I remember when he blew a maniac in traffic who shot a thick cloud on his back for hours that he didn't get to see because of the eclipse. He never made it home because he was too tired.
