- oatmeal1 3y agoI'm not sure how you mean it's "charitable?" Could you explain?
- cjbprime 3y agoSure, sorry. Planes cover distance very quickly, and people use them for e.g. a six hour flight covering 4000 miles that they would not otherwise drive; this situation makes planes appear safer "per mile" than alternative valid metrics like "accidents per hour of travel" would.
