Statistically fewer incidents. Greater scale of tragedy, emotionally. Though there are entire branches of fields that use statistics to mitigate risk, probabilities are tricky things. I found this interesting read a few days ago https://aeon.co/ideas/the-concept-of-probability-is-not-as-simple-as-you-think https://aeon.co/ideas/the-concept-of-probability-is-not-as-s... and it seems to have some overlap here. How are we calculating "safety" when it comes to transportation. I'm not sure that air transportation is less safe than other forms, but I wanted to pass this along as support for some sort of skepticism.
