No, that is ridiculous. You mess up in a plane, you go doun. You mess up in a car, 7 people go down. You mess up in a plane, you have 3,000 feet to catch yourself You mess up in a car well... Your engine fails in a plane, you glide to earth. Your engine fails on earth you crash. Anybody can get a licence, but a pilot's licence takes hours of flight time. In a car, there is no control tower...
Car is cheaper for short distances and more convenient, planes are cheaper over long distances and WAY faster...
Besides think of it this way...
You have a crash in a plane once a year let's say. Only about half of them are deadly, so about every other year, 300 people die.
There is a car crash in America once every five minutes or so... Now, ten percent of those are lethal so lets round up to an hour... So once an hour, someone dies in an accident. Now how many hours are there in a year? 24*365=8760... now take that x2 and you get around 16.5k of people dying every two years... so...
In the 2000's 145 planes crashed. In 2002 there were an estimated 6,316,000 car accidents only in the USA. So car is realy more dangerous than a plane.
Yes, but what if the yakuza is on my tail and I'm on a red eye?
*coughsnakesonaplanecough*
but I agree, besides it's just kinda common sense at the point as far as which is safer. In a plane there's a crap load of things that are provided so you DON'T die, while ass the only thing a car has is a bag and a belt. Also, there's drunk people driving cars, no alcohol for the drivers in a plane.
oh, and I almost forgot, when you die in a plane it's tragic, when you die in a car it's only an accident, even though your brain is likely sprawled over the cement.

I don't see how it is any less tragic Of course a car accident will not receive the same media attention as a plane crash, but that doesn't change the fact people are dead.
cars, your more likely to die in one, and if something fails, ussualy the pilot will turn off the radar (they have jammers, so cell phones, etc, can mess them up) so people can make calls, though ussualy, they dont have service.
a good case of a plane crash thats recent is the France Airliner jet leavind Rio...
