Put me on a plane any day rather than in a car.
Plane deaths are far more newsworthy than car deaths just because they are far far far far more rare so you hear about them on the news every time it happens.

For some odd reason these things do seem to come in cycles. Plane crashes do appear to happen in bunches, then its quiet for a while, then another bunch and so it goes on. No idea why.

Good point Bob - it probably is the fact that plane crashes are deemed more newsworthy because of the high death toll than car crashes, so that's why we are more aware of them. Thank God they're rare.
