Despite a lot of Americans fearing that something may happen to their plane, these wonders of modern engineering are actually the safest ways in which you can travel. It doesn’t seem like being trapped in a steel machine thousands of feet up in the air may be safer than any other means of transportation, but the numbers don’t lie. In fact, there are more chances of being attacked by a shark or even struck by lightning than of something happening to you on a plane.
Driving is 100 times more dangerous, but we still do it! And that’s exactly why, despite any apprehensions we may have, we continue to fly places. Some of us even go on flights multiple times a year.
