- mkl 7y agoIt's not that simple. Car crashes are much more common than plane crashes, and per kilometre, car travel is much more deadly than air.
- erpellan 7y agoPhrased another way, given the figures of 40 for cars and 117 for planes, unless everyone on a flight all travelled to the airport together in no more than 3 cars there’s a higher risk of death on the way to the airport than on the flight itself.
