Is it just me, or does the crashes data look really noisy? Yes, since 2001 the maxima are clearly lower, but in the period 1974-2001 I don't see a lot of difference with the period 1950-1974.
- cowsandmilk 10y agoIt is very noisy and isn't shown as a ratio to passengers (or maybe a ratio to passenger-miles would make more sense). And measuring deaths is weird as well e.g. could have the same number of crashes, just with fewer deaths, if there were improvements to other aspects of safety.
- nether 10y agoIt should probably be a scatter plot instead of a line chart, since interpolating values between points here is not meaningful. If there were 0 deaths in 1990 and 100 in 1992, that doesn't necessarily mean there were 50 in 1990. Maybe a cumulative count would work better, normalized by total flyers per year.
