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...

Well a car is more dangerous her in germany we have about 30000 accidents every year and just 5 with planes, but if a accident happens it is more likely that you die in a plane

Yeah, but most plane crashes are MUCH worse than your average car crash!

For example: see this:

A car crash or accident is more likely to happen but A plane crash is more deadly because of how many people are on and it has a bigger explosin radius. If I had to pick between the two on how I would die I would pick neither but a plane crash is better at least you wont have to endure pain as long as a in a car crash would last.

For me, yes
Coz airplane can crash any moment, and if it does, u have a small chance of surviving
While in cars, u have a bigger chance of surviving when u have an accident =P

Statistically, cars kill more than planes.

However when comparing single incidents, crashing planes are more dangerous than cars because they harbor more people and because a crashing plane can potentially cause more damage to its surroundings.

So generally, cars are more dangerous than planes.

Depends on the driver or pilot. This topic has a lot of variables.
