Answer 4

The chances are quite slim. You have a higher chance of dying on the way to the airport in a car crash. Air travel is quite safe no matter what stories you read about in the news. The pilots are trained extensively and airlines have to properly maintain their aircraft. If they don't and the FAA grounds the airline, the bad publicity will haunt them awhile.

Answer 5

There have been NO fatalities on any American airline in more than 10 YEARS. Do not waste a minute with worry.

Answer 6

You're far more likely to be in a car accident than involved in a plane crash

Answer 7

It’s statistically safer than driving. You’ll probably die faster going to American

mainstream medical doctors and psychiatrists, etc. with the toxic drugs they push on people. Flying every day is safer than taking that stuff every day or driving every day

Answer 8

It is not hard to look up the statistics. Lets see a 1000 die every week in car crashes.

Sorry you wanted plane crashes.Yesterday there were 100,000 flights and zero crashes.

You have a larger chance of being hit by lightning or a drunk driver getting from the Airport parking lot to terminal.



15% that is 45,000,000 in the USA are afraid to fly for many reasons.



Suggest you visit YOUR DOCTOR for some appropriate help for your situation.



The most common admission to hospital emergency wards is just falling down tripping over your own feet.

The most common place it happens is the stairs in your own home.



Sorry you wanted plane statistics.



Chance of dying in a plane crash about one in 30,000,000 flights. No one can predict which one flight has the issue and the 29,999,999 safe ones.



100 die everyday in traffic accidents. Thousands more are injured. Oops sorry not a plane statistic.



Most traffic accidents take place in the last 25 miles when you are tired and rushing to just get it over with and navigating unfamiliar roads. That one is a car travel statistic from AAA.



About 50-60,000 die each year in transportation related accidents. About 1% are from planes.

the other 99% were killed by other transportation things,.



Need some more statistics? There are lots. Sadly having a list of statistics will not help you.



Go see your Doctor for some help in this and you will have a much more pleasant journey to destination.



Depending where you are going there is the option of bus and train also. The driver gets lots of work just getting to and from. The passenger enjoys the scenery and naps in both directions.

Answer 9

Jinx. And flying is like taking the bus.

Answer 10

You have a better chance of dying on the way to the airport

Answer 11

Non-mathematical people are often challenged to properly deal with statistics. Look at this website: https://www.flightradar24.com/ As I write this on Saturday June 8, 2019 at 16:24 -0700 (pdt), there are 12,475 scheduled flights in the air. How many will crash? Probably *none* of them.



See https://www.flightradar24.com/data/statistics Each day for the last 30 days there have been between 170,700 and 218,000 flights per day. How many had fatalities? Not many. Most were small non-airline aircraft, or cargo aircraft. Of the last ten incidents, most had no fatalities. See http://www.airsafe.com/events/us_ten.htm



To answer your question, your chances of dying in an aircraft crash are between one in 5.4 million to one in 11 million. See https://www.elitedaily.com/news/world/people-terrified-plane-crashes-even-though-rare/977885

Answer 12

Almost zero if you dont fly.

Answer 13

The chances of being in a plane crash is very very slim, higher chance of getting run over crossing the street.

The chances of dying in the rare event of a plane crash are fairly high

Answer 14

Its very rare

Answer 15

Per. mile very low. Per hour in the air. Take the grey hound. But you will need much more time to get there. So flying is better.

Answer 16

Flying with reputable airlines is extremely safe. The Australian airline Qantas is 100years old next year and has never lost a passenger due to aircraft malfunction or crashing. For every passenger aircraft that has crashed many millions of people arrived safely on their flights. It is much safer than driving to your destination. For all those aircraft that do crash the fact is in most accidents the people were able to get out and away from the aircraft and many people who are unlucky to be involved survive.

No method of transportation is totally safe but passenger aircraft is the safest way to travel so there is less chance of being injured or killed flying to your destination than there is by going by car, bus, train or any other form of transport.

Answer 17

Your chance of being in a plane crash is exceptionally small. Your chance of dying if your plane does crash is pretty high.

Answer 18

it does not depend on you.

It depends on following things:



1. Your flight s staff specially pilot

2. Security level of that Airport

3. Maintenance level of that aircraft company

etc.

Answer 19

It is more hazardous to drive.

Answer 20

Odds of dying in a commercial airline accident ... 1 in 29.4 million. Odds of dying on the freeway ... 1 in 5,000. Commercial aircraft, especially commercial aircraft operated within the United States, is extremely safe.

Answer 21

Dying? Very likely. Chances of actually being in a plane crash? Very unlikely, they are rare. You have more chance of getting into a car accident.
