Air accidents

Saw this on one of my favourite comic sites this morning (Bunny).

It says:

http://www.airdisaster.com/view_year.cgi?year=2001

Air Accident (The Entire World - pop.est 6,630,000,000)

2001 1,752 Fatalities (including 9/11/01 passengers)



http://www.statistics.gov.uk/STATBASE/xsdataset.asp?vlnk=5680

Accidental Falls (The UK Alone - pop.est 60,441,000)

2000 4,281 Fatalities



Just a kindly statistical reminder -

You are more likely to die falling out of your bed in the morning than in a terrorist attack...

...so someone please tell Mr Bush to stop freaking out.



Have a cup of tea, that seems to work out quite well

Seriously Biscuit! Don't post about air accidents when 3/5ths of my/Redgum's IP is in the air!
Particularly when that 3/5ths includes My Spunky Rock Star .... My Golden Boy and My Favourite Director/Massuer.
