“It is astonishingly safe.”
I would reword that.
It has been astonishingly safe.
I beg to differ:
To summarize, there have been 10 deaths (excluding 9/11, of course) due to Boeing commercial aircraft since 2000. Every one of these deaths was caused by human error. In that same time period, there were probably 750,000 deaths due to automobile deaths.
By the way, there are over 10,000 Boeing aircraft in service right now. How many are just dropping out of the sky daily? None? And I believe a 737 takes off every 30 seconds.

So, do you still agree with “It is astonishingly safe.” If you disagree, why?
