    Why are we so afraid of getting in an airplane when, statistically, flying is so safe? A mathematical explanationhttp://on.wsj.com/2lA56mE

        Not really. Media coverage maximises the perception of the immediate danger and visualises both!

        as an aircraft passenger you're totally helpless, when driving there's at least an illusion of being in control of your surroundings

        Disagree. A scientist thinks in these terms. I think it's about control. We feel in control in a car, not in a plane.

        It has also something to do with coverage. If car accidents were covered the same you would be as afraid of them too!

        Statistics may indicate airplane fatalities are lower. But people generally feel they have more control when in a vehicle.
