    Idk man I see this statistic all the time but you might survive a car crash but if you fall from a metal tube in the sky you are most likely dead as fuck. I think crashes happen lessoften but when you do crash in a plane theres usually zero survivors

          I am an airframe and powerplant certified mechanic, I worked on 737NGs for years as well as a320/1/neo, etc.

          I know more about aviation than you, I know more about plane crashes than you.

            Hey if all that is true then yes you 100 percent do know more than I do about it that’s no question lol just poking at it again because of the news with Boeing killing that guy and the tons of problems they’ve found them to have and they’re still up there zipping around like nothing is happening.

      There are stats about fatalities you know? Not just number of incidents. Cars are orders of magnitude more dangerous in those stats as well.
