11. Flying is safer than driving
12. An airplane hit the pentagon.
Especially take-offs, and rough landings.
LOVE those in air "drops" (don't know what you call them ... but your gizzard slides up into your brain)
It is safer than driving. You could be driving stone cold sober in good weather in the safest car with seat belts and air bags and still be struck and killed by a piece falling off an airplane.
More myths:
The person who sat in the seat before you wasn’t wearing depends.
A baby who sat in the seat before you didn’t crap in his diaper.
All the air inside the tube is germ free.
The pillows don’t smell like farts. (But Stewie Griffin said his did.)
No, that's not a myth.
Your chances of a fatal accident in a plane is about 1 in 5 million flights.
The risk of a fatal automobile accident is about 1.5 every 100 million miles.
The calculations for a typical Boston to DC trip are shown here:
Transportation safety in the United States
Your drive to the airport is riskier than the flight, if it is more than about 20 miles.
Combine a 20 mile drive to the Boston airport, the flight to DC, and a 20 mile drive from the DC airport, and the risk of driving the entire 450 miles is about 8 times greater than flying.
And still, most of the risk of "flying" is driving to/from the airport.
Water landing is code for “debris field”....
Any place where you can sit and people bring you drinks is OK by me! The only problem is they charge $4 a drink so, between Dallas and Fort Worth is $40 bucks...
“11. Flying is safer than driving”
Until their planes dump their human waste and carpet bomb your car from the air.
“11. Flying is safer than driving”
way safer!!!
by the way, I’ve crashed and totaled one airplane.
What is the percentage of people who survive plane crashes versus the percentage of people who survive car crashes?
