I listened to the episode, and its genuinly horrifying how big auto’s pushing of bigger and bigger cars just keeps killing, and the majority of people seem to go “eh, thats just the way it is”

    There are people who are afraid of flying, no disrespect to them, but I’d literally feel safer being on a 50 year old plane operated by a third world airline every single day than having to cross the street even once a week. I bet statistically, it actually is safer.

      I always hear “statistically you have a higher chance of a plane crashing on you than you crashing while in a plane.” So you’re probably onto something there.

        “statistically you have a higher chance of a plane crashing on you than you crashing while in a plane.”

        Where are you hearing that, and I’m almost certain it’s not true? On the other hand, “you’re more likely to die driving to the airport than on your flight” actually is true.

        That cant be true. A plane has at least one person in it.

        Well that’s a crock of shit. Probably some BS marketing an Airliner came up with. How often do you hear about a pedestrian being hit by a plane?
