        I am an airframe and powerplant certified mechanic, I worked on 737NGs for years as well as a320/1/neo, etc.

        I know more about aviation than you, I know more about plane crashes than you.

          Hey if all that is true then yes you 100 percent do know more than I do about it that’s no question lol just poking at it again because of the news with Boeing killing that guy and the tons of problems they’ve found them to have and they’re still up there zipping around like nothing is happening.

      Ok ok lol I can see why you’d say this so let me frame it another way. I’ve personally been in a car crash before (two), and I survived. Do you know one single person personally yourself who has survived a plane crash? What about two of them? Now what about car crashes? I bet you know at least one person who has survived a car crash, right?

        I know more people that have died in car crashes (2, in separate instances, and one person that died in a motorcycle accident) than people who have died in plane crashes (0).

        But that doesn’t actually matter, because a) anecdotal evidence means very little, if not nothing when considering the scale of transportation industries and b) the numbers don’t lie. Since 1970, 85,555 people have died in fatal aviation incidents. Around 100,000 people die or are disabled in car accidents every single month.

        Your misunderstanding of statistics and probability and your idea that because the concept of a minor car accident exists, it nullifies the fact that they are dangerous, is just wrong.
