it doesn't really seem that long since the TAM airlines crash a couple of months ago, and yet another serious crash happens.

it wasnt TAM.. it was one-two-go.

I wasn't referring to the TAM airlines crash as if it had happened yesterday, I was talking about the crash that happened in July/June.

When I heard about this I was really worried because I knew my cousin was going to thailand.. But I got told he went the day before it happened

RIP to those that died.

and they say its the safest way to travel.. I mean I know theres less things to crash into because you're in the air but I feel safer in a car than a plane

it's a hellll of a lot safer than driving.


I must admit though, despite the stats that I know, I also feel safer in a car, perhaps it's the fact that you have more control over what happens, and if you do crash, you have more of a chance of getting out alive.

the main reason why people saying planes are safer is because theres more cars than there are planes!?

and its more likely a car will crash on a road e.g. into another car or a building than a plane will crash into anything at all.
