I am an instrument-rated pilot and I own a 1999 Cessna 172R.

42,000 people die each year in vehicle accidents in the US, or about 120/day. NBD. So when a few people die in a plane accident once a month or so, why is this even news? Why? How many people die in plane accidents each year, like 42? That’s 1 for every 1000 who die in their cars.

How about someone posting about the 5 people who died in a car accident in Spokane yesterday?
