Comment on How odd is a cluster of plane accidents?parent

The "chance" here is the probability of the second crash will happen given the first crash happens. Because the first crash is given, its probability should be taken to be 1.

There's also whether the probability of a crash occurring on any given day is actually 1/365, but that's another issue.
