Imagine if there where only two flights per day worldwide .. and one fell out of the sky each day .


There were also 1000 coach trips daily with five crashes. ..


By your reckoning you are safer taking the plane …

Yes it’s true. Not sure why it’s even up for debate.

The arguments are a bit wishy washy

Like when they compare flying with train journeys



Comparison:
If you compare deaths per mile traveled, planes are generally safer. However, if you compare deaths per journey, trains are safer.
In short, both flying and train travel are very safe modes of transportation, but flying is statistically safer, particularly when considering the total distance traveled.

Again not sure why this is even up for debate but confirms why I don’t often enter SD on TiBB.

A simple google search will show you what you need. Try typing:

Statistics of dying by coach vs plane worldwide

…this is reported to be a video that a passenger took 2 hours before the crash and indicating that so much in the cabins isn’t working…including the AC and TV/movie screens…
