Air travel is extremely, incredibly safe. It's safer than any means of travel have ever been in the history of the planet.

  That doesn't make throwing a metal tube through the air intrinsically safe, it just means we're very cognizant of how dangerous it is.

    I guess it depends how on what you mean by intrinsically

      I’m just saying a plane wouldn’t stay up without extensive software control. Substantially all the avionics on a plane are dedicated to covering the shortcomings and turning an intrinsically unsafe process into an exceptionally safe process.
