I try never entrust my life to the integrity or judgement of another human being any more. I drive defensively, don't fly, prefer to ride the back of trains, and try to avoid tall buildings. These owners do NOT have our interests at heart. Not in the slightest.

@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 It's disgusting. There is always a compromise between safety and utility, but the more lives are affected, the greater that should err towards safety. The slapdash way that Fukishima plant was run, as well as the Windscale plant in Britain, and the entire nuclear weapons arsenal of the USA is appalling.

@janicesullivan8942 In a train crash, I always consider that the further you are from the bit having the direct impact the greater your survival chances. I do try to avoid large crowds although I LOVE people, especially tourists in London. I hate the thought of my exits being restricted by bodies though. The situation in Israel this week (and Hillsboro) attest to the dangers of crowds.

It enrages me beyond expression to see the total contempt (as with the Titanic) that these owners have for human lives; especially the working class. And then the sc*m get away without punishment.

@kam2894 I don't expect to be fully safe, but I simply prefer to take as much control over the things that affect my safety as possible.

@Nazareth69420 Nobody wants to die on the roads either, but carelessness, badly maintained vehicles/planes, faulty parts, bad design. There are a million things that can go wrong beyond the pilots' control.

@mwebb1495 Yes, it's appalling. And over 30,000 gun deaths. The tools we make to make our lives easier of safer have a high cost.

@majungasaurusaaaa "The silly ones are the ones walking around feeling entitled to everyone ensuring their utmost safety " yes, I agree 100%

@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 Absolutely.

@janicesullivan8942 Perhaps so, but at least it's going the same direction!

@Nazareth69420 You're right of course, your odds of dying in a plane crash is tiny compared to a car, but you can drive defensively, take evasive action, avoid heavy traffic or busy periods in a car. In a plane that goes wrong, your only option is spreading your body parts over a field or feeding fish.

@mr.blackhawk142 Absolutely. I've been driven off the road from behind. Never again.

@jadedheartsz I feel you on that.
