- chiefalchemist 3y agoThe mainstream media is obsessed with planes, airports, airlines, etc. and any/all related incidents. "What's that Bill? No shark attacks to report? OK then, let's run something about planes and airlines." At any given moment, few people out of all actual fly in a given year, fewer still are in the air at any given moment; given the number of flights, air travel is very safe. But outliers are easy to sensationalize and make great "breaking news". Welcome to the Fear Economy.
