These kinds of things should be making everyone nervous about flying........
In 2019, US air carriers reported 31 serious injuries and 38 fatalities, according to the DoT. In 2020, the latest year on record, there were 17 injuries and 26 deaths; as noted, most of these were in on-demand air taxis.
Forty percent of all air travel deaths in this century happened in 2001, the year of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
There were 39,508 fatal motor vehicle crashes in the United States in 2021 in which 42,939 deaths occurred. This resulted in 12.9 deaths per 100,000 people and 1.37 deaths per 100 million miles traveled.
So walk then. …
Better yet, stay home altogether…
In 2021, 7,388 pedestrians were killed – a 13% increase from 2020 – and more than 60,000 pedestrians were injured nationwide.

Dude, I’m an AF vet too, but don’t go throwing statistics at me. I know everything that you shared, but you’re being condescending.
