Near 4.5 billion people traveled last year on some of the 35 million flights that will take place around the world in 2023, flying planes 11 kilometers above the Earth's surface. However, in plane crashes last year (2024), only 17 people.
Check out these very interesting statistics:
- Last year in the United States, more than 400 people died from falling out of bed.
- More than 300 people drown in their bathtubs every year.
The columnist notes that this data alone proves that people are not very good at… assessing risks.
2024 has truly become one of the safest years in aviation history. According to Airline Ratings, the airline Air New Zealand recognized as the safest airline in 2024. This year also saw a significant decrease in the number of plane crashes compared to previous years. This is an impressive result for the aviation industry.
So the next time you're enjoying a relaxing bubble bath, think about the fact that you might be safer on a plane, flying somewhere over the Atlantic.
