Wouldn't really talk about aviation. We're still killing lots of people due to dodgy maintenance. Lack of understanding brought us popular hits such as the Hindenburg, and cars/ships/etc don't fail as catastrophically but they break all the time.
- panick21_ 3y agoIf you compare everything to a perfect world where nothing ever happens then nothing is gone measure up.
- roarcher 3y agoPrivate aviation isn't special in terms of accidents either, though. There have been plenty of NASA spacecraft and military aircraft lost due to accidents, maintenance issues, and design flaws.
- constantcrying 3y ago>Private aviation isn't special in terms of accidents either Yes it is, because for what it does it has an incredible safety record.

- roarcher 3y agoIt's pretty obvious that I was comparing it to government/military aviation and not other forms of transportation, and that I was saying it was safe.
- constantcrying 3y ago>Wouldn't really talk about aviation. But I would. Flying is incredibly safe for putting people in aluminium tubes kilometers above the surface of the earth and propelled by combusting fans of immense power. The idea that flying has become a low risk means of transportation is absolutely incredible and a real testament to safety standards working.
