"Third World" Aviation risks

Another plane crash in less than a month - again, with a French connection and involving an Airbus. Apparently the model A310 is banned in EU since 2007. What bugs me no end is that while everyone talked about the AF447 crash earlier this month purely from a scientific or humanitarian angle, leading papers immediately after the Yemenia A310 crash started commenting on the "risks that third world aviation poses". Why? Just because kins of the victims can rip off airlines for millions when its a "First World" aviation disaster like the one earlier last month, while the second one happened involving a plane belonging to a third world nation? Could someone please ask the kins of those who died whether it makes any difference to them or the dead? Is this truly the second decade of the 21st Century? Or perhaps we really are too prejudiced to realize that we have not changed much from our greatgrandparents...
