If someone has crash statistics for planes/cars by time spent in a plane/car, please ping me to it! I'm super curious
edit: nvm I found it on wikipedia, for United Kingdom 1990–2000: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_safety#Transport_comparisons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_safety#Transport_comp...
air/car deaths/h = 4.2x
so... on this metric, not like "1000x safer"
- acqq 7y ago> air/car deaths/h = 4.2x That number confused me (I expected to be zero point something). For the reference, the actual numbers in Wikipedia are: deaths per billion hours traveled: air = 30.8 ; car = 130 30.8 / 130 ~ 0.24
- swfsql 7y agoYou're right, I got it the other way around; car/air deaths/h = 4.2x
- Gibbon1 7y agoI saw a statitic that the 737 Max is around 4 deaths per million miles. Vs 0.2 for the 737 NG. So 20 times more. Take that 4.2/20 and you have 0.21. Or flip it around the 737 Max is 5 times more dangerous than a passenger car. That's drunk driver territory.
- ulfw 7y agoYep. And the sad thing is: it’s rarely the CAR that kills you. It’s other drivers or your own negligence. In the 737max case it’s Boeing that killed you.
