    Maybe it’s a phobia for me. I know, statistically, it’s the safest way to travel. But I hate having no control over my fate. Plane improperly maintained causes the flight I’m on to crash into the mountains? No thanks. I know it’s extremely irrational but it is still terrifying to me.

      But people die every day in cars due to somebody else’s actions and/or poor maintenance.

      Place crashes are very memorable and flashy though.

      I agree. The situation is already dangerous enough without those in charge cutting corners for profit…
