I think the irrational fear of flying on a proven-to-be-much-safer-than-most-forms-of-human-transportation
has less to do with the odds of
getting into an accident (many more car accidents than plane-related ones, both in absolute numbers and percentage-wise)
and more to do with the odds of
surviving an accident (much, much lower survival rate among plane-related ones, you know, falling out of the goddamn sky and everything).
