    This is heartbreaking news. May cases like these be prevented from happening somehow :ohno:

    I know flying is technically safer but I'll always feel more safe driving my own car, that way you're fully in control (well mostly at least, until someone hits you.)

    With that said I don't mind flying either.

    You may have more chances of crashing your car than crashing on a plane but at least car crashes are survivable

    yeah i get what you mean. In a car you have some sort of control even if somone comes at you. In a plane you're completely helpless if something goes wrong.

    There are way way way more car crash fatalities than plane fatalities. Thats why plane crashes are such big news.

    Air travel is so much safer than car travel. That's why crashes are so rare.

    Control is definitely an issue for me. I'm pretty sure I'd be fine as a pilot. I even get car sickness when I'm a passenger in a car now.

    Yep, something that f---s my head up when flying as well. If something bad happens, we're all screwed.

    You can't compare crash site ratios when there's over a million cars moving 24/7.imo
    I'd rather smoke on a road trip

    (CNN) - The only reasonable explanation for the crash of a Russian passenger jet in Egypt is "an external influence," an executive from the airline that operated the flight said Monday, stressing that planes don't just break apart in midair.
