Yes you are right with the fear factor aspect i just always find it strange that nearly 3500 a day die in car crashes without barely being taken note of.
I just find the fixation with things like air crash deaths and terrorism deaths really strange compared to how rare they are.

Airline safety is amazing you have more chance of dying from falling out of bed or being struck by lightning and you are 55 times more likely to die from a TV falling on you than you are from an islamic terrorist attack and yet hundreds of billions of pounds arent spent building better TV stands to combat that menace.

Fear is a powerful tool.
