    Since the 1990’s I’ve known people who ride around in old VW’s because they were cool. They are not overbuilt and rust is a real problem, but I don’t see people worry when 4 people are in the car. I see 6 people in the back of a pickup truck on a regular basis. People will do very risky things on wheeled transportation with high death rates. But when it comes to airplanes, they are hyper concerned about safety. I think people worry too much about the way they are gong to die or the details of a person’s last week alive. Makes them ignore the risks in front of them, like car wrecks.
