minus-squareLifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·10 months ago45,000 commercial flights a day in the U.S. 35 deaths in the last 10 years. Thats about 164 million flights. ~115 people dying by car daily, and those numbers have been rising every year… If planes get their kill ratio up high enough people will stop caring and start saying it is expected/needed. Clearly more plane crashes are the answer.
