Stop worrying about flying planes.

There are few things in the world as safe as flying. The most dangerous part about flying is the drive to the airport. More people die in automobile accidents every couple days then all year from airplanes. Unfortunately nothing is perfect and there will always be accidents, but the accidents are so few and far between that they are of little concern.

The FAA is all excited now because it has convinced everyone that it is an important organization saving the nation from a problem that does not exist. Value Jet had a horrible accident, but unfortunately shit happens. If they experienced a few crashes then we could become concerned, but the loss in passengers too scared to fly Value Jet would incent them to clean up their act anyhow. The FAA bureaucrats stepping in will only create more problems.

Why don’t we come out with a TV Death Channel to show the thousands of car crash deaths, gun related murders, or other exciting deaths on TV all day? We watch plane crashes not because of the crash’s significance to our lives because plane crashes are too rare to affect our lives. We watch plane crashes because we find it exhilarating to pretend that we too could meet such a horrible end.
