Welcome back!

Planes are the safest way to travel (statistically) by a large margin. You should be far more frightened every time you get in a car.

i think its crap what u say Year (no personal offence) :o
caus when a plain crashes.. it crashes good.
and ive noticed alot of crashes the passed view years!!!

You should try just googling it, Shaibana
Aviation accidents and incidents - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FARS Encyclopedia
with an estimated 10.2 million flights per year, that's one crash in every 78461 flights.
Or looking at it another way, taking 100 million passengers and 1150 deaths, one in 86956 airline passengers will die in a year

compare to 17 fatalities for every 100,000 licensed drivers per year, that's one in every 5882 drivers (in the US) dying per year.

so I think what you think is crap~

Yeah, that's why I made the extra mention about "statistically." I think the stuff about planes is just in the cultural consciousness. Even pre-9/11 a plane crash (rare as it was) would get a ton of media coverage and most tended to be fatalities for all involved, but motor vehicle accidents are so common that we don't even consider the danger any more.

Either way.... no offense taken. Also, reading in dim light won't hurt your vision and swimming after eating won't cause you to cramp and drown.
