Study Finds Flying On Airplane Far Safer Than Flying In Car

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA—In an effort to dispel long-standing misconceptions surrounding aviation safety, researchers at the University of Virginia released a comprehensive new study Tuesday that determined flying on an airplane is far safer than flying in a car. “While fear of airplanes remains common among the American public, our study concludes you are 99.

9% less likely to be in any kind of accident on an airplane than you would be if you were soaring wildly off a half-finished bridge in a souped-up old Mustang,” said transportation safety engineer Timothy Sayers, lead author of the study, which appears to have definitively established that commercial airliners, small private jets, and even those little propeller planes that can land on water are dramatically safer than every kind of airborne motor vehicle.

WoW. 'Flying in a car'. So cars have wings now.

🙃

Cars rarely fall 30,000 feet to crash.

But what if you’re not a muggle

Had to read it again . Well done.

love that the pic is a boeing 737max

Baloney. The Jetsons will prove them wrong

Seems to have worked out ok for the Dukes of Hazzard.

its true, for one simple reason, there are no drunk drivers when you flying in the air.

Next our intrepid scientists will test the relative safety of sailing in boats, trains and airplanes.

Wild if true.

Its true!

Just need to know what you're doing.

😄

'Cars don't fly!!!'

Flying motorcycles have an excellent safety record though

Unless you are the Dukes of Hazard.

You ever seen a jumbo jet on the 405 during rush hour, though?

What if there are snakes on the plane?

I chuckled

I demand 's staff test this to be sure 😆

Planes tend to fly straight and have wings.

Can't prove that
