The statistics are usually based on per passenger mileOnly because there are far more cars.
FIFYseems a few passengers had stolen IDs. starting to sound more and more like a terrorist attack gone right.
OK, if you want to go from Atlanta to New Orleans, what do you believe is the safest way to get there?wonder what the casualty rate is though when comparing auto accidents to plane accidents. what percent of plane trips are deadly compared to the percent of automobiles traveling trips that turn deadly. you are much more likely of being killed of course in a plane crash. i never understood the "safest way to travel" statement.
What it shows is its not simple to compare air travel to wheeled vehicle travel. Per mile? Planes fly 10x faster so it skews to them. Per trip? You can't take a plane to the grocery, where its unlikely you'd reach a speed that could result in a fatality. Same with buses.All this shows is how easy it is to monkey with statistics. If you happen to be on the one plane out of a million that crashes, you are probably screwed. But over all, planes are safer any day.
So at 30,000+ feet, a plane disintegrates so no wreckage can be found?
That conclusion seems a little premature to me. It took a couple of days to find AF447 debris.So at 30,000+ feet, a plane disintegrates so no wreckage can be found?

I agree. People travel in planes for different reasons. Very few people/travelers actually have to choose between flying and driving.What it shows is its not simple to compare air travel to wheeled vehicle travel.
