The disturbing thing, though, is that despite the much higher odds of dying in a car crash at least if you are in a car crash you have a reasonable shot at survival. If you go down in an airplane you're done.
I know it doesn't make sense mathematically, but psychologically it's a huge difference.
I'm not afraid to fly, but I don't enjoy it like I did as a kid. I can't imagine what it must be like in an air crash where you have a couple of minutes of knowing what's about to happen. Ugly, ugly way to go.
