Are planes really the safest way to travel?

740 viewsOther

So, first I hope this question fits this sub. I’ve often heard that sentance. But how has it been determined?

Like, is it just about the raw number of deaths? In which case, the argument doesn’t exactly land well since we’re in planes a very small part of our lives.

Or has it been calculated that on average, a second spent on a plane is safer than a second spent in a car? In which case it would truly be safer.

They has not been a fatality among passengers of U.S. Scheduled Air Carriers (What you normally travel on) since…..

2009

FIFTEEN YEARS AGO. ZERO.

In that period something like 300,000 people died driving on U.S. roads.

You can relax now.
