    I feel sorry who died in air accident but that doesn't mean I am scared of anything like that.

    It would be interesting to know what the ratio of deaths is to the number of people travelling by air or by motor vehicle. I wouldn't be surprised if travelling by motor vehicle isn't safer given the amount of vehicles on the roads.

    National US Safety Council data reveal that in the last half of the 2000s Americans were, mile for mile, 37 times more likely to die in a vehicle crash than on a commercial flight.


    However, depending on how to use stats, you are 3.67 times more likely to die flying than driving in comparison to hours spent in the mode of transport.

    But what if your pilot comes on the intercom and says "Good Morning ladies & gentlemen, this is Captain vegy!

    "Listen to me. I can just about handle you, driving like a pissed-up crackhead and treating women like beanbags, but I’m going to say this once and once only, Gene: stay out of Camberwick Green!"
