@Neongrave1234 Yes, and enough already from the posters who complain about events that happened more than two weeks ago.

@khosrowzare8301 It all boils down to the same thing. Profit over safety.

@gary-ju5ox "I would like to see mentours account of the Erebus DC 10 accident in Antarctica." So would I, as I am of the opinion there has never been a definitive resolution between the two different narratives of this event, each side often caricaturing the other. The reality is, the Mahon report, though a big improvement over the Chippindale, is far from flawless, if not outright misleading.

@vidura Well corporate culture may well be a form of mental disorder.

Do you mean by per capita per person in the general population, or the chance of dying per passenger miles/trips only for the people who fly?

@travisobryan8460 I think back then if you do it by passenger miles, the airplane wins. But by passenger hours the car wins. So naturally, the industry chooses passenger miles. However I would have to put in some real numbers to see. Today though, flying has become so much safer that the plane would beat the car by both measures. Very roughly, in the 1950s in the US the ball park safety for air travel was somewhere between one chance in 50-100 thousand per flight, very dangerous by today's standard. By the 1970s it had dropped to about one chance in 4 million per flight. Today, it's off the charts safer. If we confine ourselves to US-operated jet airliners, in the US there has been but a single fatality since 2001. By my estimate that works out to 1 chance in 10 billion per flight. Given all the existing hazards today, I am amazed. I've jumbled together three different yardsticks, which is a mess, but I don't have time to be more refined at the moment. If you think this is worth it, we could look next at auto numbers. But I don't have those in my memory.
