I listened to the episode, and its genuinly horrifying how big auto’s pushing of bigger and bigger cars just keeps killing, and the majority of people seem to go “eh, thats just the way it is”

    I always hear “statistically you have a higher chance of a plane crashing on you than you crashing while in a plane.” So you’re probably onto something there.

      “statistically you have a higher chance of a plane crashing on you than you crashing while in a plane.”

      Where are you hearing that, and I’m almost certain it’s not true? On the other hand, “you’re more likely to die driving to the airport than on your flight” actually is true.

      Well that’s a crock of shit. Probably some BS marketing an Airliner came up with. How often do you hear about a pedestrian being hit by a plane?
