LOL, OK then - so what percentage is it, exactly?

That's not the case with plane crashes. Cuz so far I haven't heard even once a reporter to say "there are [insert number] survivors" about a plane crash. It's always "no survivors".
Look, dummy - the point is, that plane crashes happen extremely rarely - while traffic accidents happen ALL THE TIME. That's why a million people die every year in traffic accidents, even though they have this awesome chance to "walk away without a scratch". How many people a year die in plane crashes? Very few. Sure - when that happens it's horrific, so what?
But as I said - you see something scary, so you're afraid of that, rather than of something that has VERY HIGH CHANCE, that it may happen to you. That's something stupid people do. Like people, who play the lottery...
If you don't want to fly - no one's forcing you. But your reasons are irrational and your rationalizations are unreasonable.
