Even with recent events, flying is still the safer option over driving. We're hearing about all the incidents because they are rare, but every day there are lots of automobile fatalities that it's not even reported on beyond the local market since it's common.

Observation: almost nobody died from planes in 2020
Conclusion: we need to start more pandemics

Maybe that's the 3D chess move that orange man did when he appointed RFK

Nah. That’s half of the plan to ‘fix’ Social Security. The other half is forcing mothers to have unwanted

The worst American aviation disaster in 30 years. There. That's what changed.

Open flightradar24 and see how many flights are in the air at any given point. Now...how many of them do you hear about on the news?
That should let you visualize how dangerous/safe air travel is.

14 events, 5 of them with fatalities, but one accounts for the majority of them
