Yeah I think I'll avoid flying to the US indefinitely

My wife and I are supposed to fly to a concert in August for our anniversary, we are planning to drive now.

Open flightradar24 and see how many flights are in the air at any given point. Now...how many of them do you hear about on the news?

That should let you visualize how dangerous/safe air travel is.

Even with recent events, flying is still the safer option over driving. We're hearing about all the incidents because they are rare, but every day there are lots of automobile fatalities that it's not even reported on beyond the local market since it's common.
