It's funny how things work. People die all the time in car accidents. So much so that people aren't afraid to drive anymore. But when an airplane crash occurs, or some terrorist acts, people are suddenly afraid to fly, even though the chances of you dying is significantly higher when driving than flying.

I think the reason people feel safer in a car is due to the fact that they feel in control. Theyre behind the wheel, and not putting there lives in the hands of some faceless pilot.
Another reason might be, if your car gets in a wreck, or your car breaks down, your not going to plummet thousands of feet to your death. In a plane theres no escape.
How ya doing, buddy?
