re: #62 Gus

Odds of injuries in car crash are several magnitudes higher than odds of injuries in a plane or rail crash.

It’s that plane or rail crashes are far more newsworthy because they actually occur infrequently.

It’s perception of risks that skew things. Even though it happens far more frequently, we tend to think driving is safe because we all do it. Except that it isn’t safe - thanks to weather conditions, other drivers, and road conditions.
