the safest form of travel is flying. even though you're strapping people into a pressurized metal tube next to 50 tons of jet fuel and hurtling them at hundreds of miles per hour through the elements, governed by a complex web of thousands of safety-critical systems controlled by a pair of humans. it's rather remarkable.
