That's probably a good first approximation, genuinely wonder about how accurate it gets. How many people die in LA gridlock?
If your driving experience is "hours moving at 5mph", and your flying is "lots of shaking", easy to get scared of one.
As someone who has developed a fear of flying (I still fly because I'm not taking a boat but...), one small thing that scares me is looking at plane wings in flight.
A lot of bending, and a lot of parts that look old. On one flight I could see a piece of rubber stuck on the rudder , that seemed to slowly get more worn out as the rudder moved up and down.
I'm sure it was by design, but at the time, I was legitimately scared.
EDIT: it was a flap, not a rudder
- astrodust 10y agoModern aircraft have engineering tolerances that are absolutely absurd: http://www.popularmechanics.com/flight/g2428/7-airplane-wing-stress-tests/ http://www.popularmechanics.com/flight/g2428/7-airplane-wing... The shake and wobble in wings is by design. If they didn't flex they'd shatter.
