EXPLANATIONS WHY THE FEAR OF FLYING IS SILLY

TURBULENCE IS ACTUALLY NOT DANGEROUS.

PLANES ARE NO MORE LIKELY TO FALL FROM

THE SKY DURING HEAVY TURBULENCE THAN

IN OTHERWISE NORMAL CONDITIONS

AND LIGHTNING STRIKES? MOST AIRLINERS GET HIT

ON AVERAGE EVERY COUPLE YEARS BUT YOU

WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW IT.

ACTUALLY, YOU'RE MORE LIKELY TO DIE GETTING

HIT BY LIGHTNING ON YOUR WAY TO GET INTO

YOUR CAR TO GO TO THE AIRPORT

TO REALLY BLOW YOUR MIND, YOU HAVE A GREATER

CHANCE OF DYING BY FALLING OUT OF YOUR BED

OK, LET'S PUT IT THIS WAY, EVERY YEAR HIPPOS

KILL MORE PEOPLE THAN PLANES DO

IN 2013 THREE BILLION PEOPLE FLEW ON AIRPLANES.

THAT'S HALF THE WORLD'S POPULATION

THERE WERE ONLY 210 FATALITIES
