Cars have airbags, they have seat belts, the driver can be extra-cautious, the driver can swerve around things. Airplanes just go down, period, end of story. [/quote] We just had a overpath here collapse and kill the people in cars underneath - they were driving extra-cautious at the time. :) The average airline pilot is much more qualified than the average car driver. The average plane is more likely to be better inspected for flaws (and required by law) than the average car. Most pilots are not drunk...can't say as much for many drivers. I may not feel safer in a plane, but I am. The illusion that you are in control in a car is just that an illusion...which evaporates very quickly when that drunk driver crosses the median and ends your life. ~ Luxury is the wolf at the door and its fangs are the vanities and conceits germinated by success.
