I heard this morning that today's crash was the first crash of a commercial airliner in America in over a year.
About 40,000 people died in car accidents last year.
No comparison, really, in terms of safety. Air travel is many times safer.

Personally, I know that. Deep in my heart I know it. That does NOT reduce the pucker factor when an aircraft goes weight-off-wheels. And I worked on AC for a long time. ;>)

Those are good reminders of rational thought processes.;-)
Actually my concern, even before 9/11, has always been the cranky/out-of-control person on board and what they may do, but maybe that was not a reasonable concern either.
