Ask yourself this question: In the US last year, how many people died in
airplane accidents? How many died in car accidents? There you go.

Invalid comparison.

Give me the fatalities per hour of passenger exposure, planes vs cars
and then we can talk. The numbers are about the same.

How does that make it more relevant? Why not fatalities per mile
flown/driven. I don't think you can ever really have a valid
comparison. Let's just use fatalities per lifetime!!
