People are primed to look at this sort of thing right now. And especially because over the last couple of years, ironically, in a bid to improve safety, every single airport has a lot of recording devices, video cameras. And so we can get video of a lot of these things happening. So it makes it a little bit more vivid.

But statistically speaking, it's safer now to fly than it has been at any point since the 1960s. And even if you take the last couple of years, it's safer now to fly than it was even before the pandemic.

And so even though it feels like certain things are breaking down, other things are also going right to make sure that even if in the worst case scenario, people are still able to exit the airplane without any injury or anything like that.

So your chance of getting into a fatal car crash at some point in your life is a little bit less than one in 100. So it's like one in 95 or so. It's about a 1% chance. But the thing about that is people are in control when they get in the driver's seat. They feel like they're the best driver on the road, that they can sort of maneuver their way around an accident, that they can deal with whatever.

Whereas when you're in the back of an airplane, you're not in charge. You're in the middle of this complex system that maybe you understand, maybe you don't. And, you know, you've seen Lost. My husband keeps reminding me that planes want to be in the air. You've seen Flight with Denzel Washington.

You've seen all of these horrible things that make you fear the worst whenever you feel the slightest bump. We are inverted. I repeat, we are inverted, Sergeant. So that's kind of the psychological background. But statistically speaking, you could fly twice a day for about 2,500 years before you even run the risk of getting into a fatal aviation accident.

So that is, I think it's like 10,000 orders of magnitude safer than just getting in your car every day. But that's not how the human mind works. The human mind fixates on the stuff that you dread and the stuff that you feel like you have no control over. So it's totally understandable, and I totally get it.

Yes, but not for the reasons that people think. So the one of the things to understand about aviation is like in the 1950s and the 1960s, airplanes would crash for reasons that now seem like boneheaded things like they didn't really understand how to make them properly or people didn't know how to, you know, tell the pilot that he's screwing up or anything like that.
