Boeing-- How Safe is Flying?

"In 2000, the world's commercial jet airlines carried approximately
1.09 billion people on 18 million flights, while suffering only 20
fatal accidents."

so break it down

30 million flights in 2006, so about 82k/day

lol Data bit old but thanks for sharing...

My guesstimate was WAY off.

You guessed more, or less?

Do the planes go slower every year, having to plow through their own pollution? :winkwink:

VVVVVVVV

and thats not even including all the smaller private jets and local flights

Lets not forget military aswell, I live near an airbase and on somedays whenever u search the skies at any time of the day you will see at least 3 jets. Now think how much USA spends on its airforce.

the real number of number of planes that take to the skies each day must be seriously amazing.

so very true

still mil flights compaired to say all the people who have a small Cesna in Australia. I think there are a lot of local flights, way more then mil flights, globally speaking. Could be wrong though. But getting specs on that is almost impossible. There are so many countries where even looking at mil flights is forbidden let alone to get data on them.

Yep, then there's Cargo too...

Shit, you I can go over the Luke AFB here in Phoenix and watch at least a dozen F-16's take off within an hour. They are always taking off and landing there, constantly.

Really

hmm we have them too but flights are a few a day over the total of Holland. People dont like the mil flight here, small country lots noise and we do have the occasional asshole that cuts a powercord (we have them up on huge poles) and puts a whole city outa electricity. Happened last month with an Apache.

Apparantly, an Indian entrepreneur has given a new twist to the concept of low cost airlines. The passengers boarding his Airbus 300 in Dehli do not expect to go anythere since it never takes off.:1orglaugh

All they want is the chance to know what it feels like to sit on a plane, listen to announcements and be waited on by stewardesses bustling up and down the aisle.

In a country where 99% of the population have never experienced air travel, the "virtual journeys" of Bahadur Ghand Gupta, a retired Indian Airlines engineer, have proved a roaring success...:1orglaugh
