Both of the situations are car crashes. What are you even claiming?

  That deaths in car crashes[1] are not a fait accompli and that their impact may be mitigated by careful engineering and hard work. And by extension, that fatalism regarding other problems[2] is subject to the same kind of solutions. And finally that using car crashes as a metaphor for other such problems[3], as the upthread poster did, is a poor analogy and actually supports the case for action, and not despair. [1] Actually climate change. It's a metaphor. [2] Climate change, again. [3] Yup.
