@@AlbanianMidgetstatistics are completely against you. Despite this horrible incident. Flying is the still by far safest way to travel. And by a lot quite frankly. Here are the statistics. Flying is 190 times safer than driving. Which makes it 99.47% safer. This is deduced from a 2022 study which studies fatalities per 100 million. Where flying is at 0.003 per 100 million for flying, whereas driving is at 0.57 per 100 million.
