I know, but no one cares who’s responsible at the moment. What people care about is that they read a new article about Boeings planes endangering passengers every 3 days. So while Delta is most likely at fault, Boeing is gonna take the hit to the company image. That’s why I was specifically speaking about the Boeing PR team. Those guys and the crisis managers won’t be able to catch a break for a loooong time.

45,000 commercial flights a day in the U.S. 35 deaths in the last 10 years. Thats about 164 million flights.
~115 people dying by car daily, and those numbers have been rising every year…
If planes get their kill ratio up high enough people will stop caring and start saying it is expected/needed.
Clearly more plane crashes are the answer.
how many car trips per day in the us? must be billions. deaths per mile* per traveler should be the metric, not number of trips.
ps: safest method of transportation is the elevator.
edit:*mile traveled
Elevators don’t travel any distance so if anyone is hurt by one they immediately lose by your metrics
are you 100% sure that elevators don’t travel any distance? or are we going to argue semantics over what distance is or isn’t.
Just throwing this out - do we include the altitude the plane climbs in its distance traveled?
sure. why the hell not? lets go nuts on these data points.
Does this one count?
sure
You would need to keep track of how high airplanes fly if you did argue semantics
in three dimensions you have three axis. all of those measure distance traveled from 0.
