airplanes...all they do is CRASH! Usenet cross-posters ... all they do is TROLL! Who knows how many airplanes crash a year..thousands. The NTSB knows: http://www.ntsb.gov/aviation/Stats.htm A total of 534 aviation fatalities in 2009 in the U.S. By comparison, allegedly 450 deaths per year occurred in the U.S. due to people falling out of bed: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/mo...-involving-bed Possible supporting stats he http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/factsheets/nursing.htm Another perspective: there were a total of 366 weather-caused deaths in the U.S.: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/hazstats/sum09.pdf General NOAA weather hazard stats page: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/hazstats.shtml BOTTOM LINE: You ain't safe in bed or outdoors - so may as well have some fun flying!

There are a lot more cars on the ground than planes in the air... If I run out of gasoline, or my car..stalls, I'm not going to crash into the ground!

There are not 300 million airplanes in the sky... Planes crash because....they run out of whatever keeps them up in the air... The Starmaker You put a washing machine in the air...you better have enough quaters to keep it flying.

There are not 300 million airplanes in the sky... But U.S. airlines carried 704 million passengers in 2009: http://www.bts.gov/press_releases/20...bts029_10.html (And that was a down year.) Planes crash because....they run out of whatever keeps them up in the air... People crash out of bed because....they run out of safety blankets. You put a washing machine in the air...you better have enough quaters to keep it flying. That's probably why bricks plummet to the ground: no place to insert quarters.
