Oh, and I don't like flying

You're of course free to spin it any way you wish. What about all the millions of people who fly several hours every day for business? Do some of you even know how many flights there are every day, and how many people are on those flights? Yet you hardly ever heard of a plane going down, and when you do it's a big deal... because it is a rare occurance.
In the time I took to type this, 1000+ cars crashed, several hundred people died. But you go with your argument. :D
