No, that is ridiculous. You mess up in a plane, you go doun. You mess up in a car, 7 people go down. You mess up in a plane, you have 3,000 feet to catch yourself You mess up in a car well... Your engine fails in a plane, you glide to earth. Your engine fails on earth you crash. Anybody can get a licence, but a pilot's licence takes hours of flight time. In a car, there is no control tower...
Well, on the very rare occasion that one crashes, more people die in a plane crash, but something has to go horribly awry for the plane to crash, and it's very unlikely.
So driving, technically.
Funfax: in a test comparing people under the influence and people texting while driving, the drunks actually did better.
Depends on the situtation. As in more deaths per year, cars DEFINITELY win. However, in a car crash, you have a better chance of surviving than if a plane crashed. Fortunately, planes do not crash very often, and my dad is a pilot, and i've seen what they do and all the avoidance and backup systems, and i'd have to go with cars are 10000 times more dangerous on average.
alot more people die in car crashes and they happen like every seceond.
Heh, that's because it's extremely easy to get a drivers license but you actually need to be trained as a pilot AND then trained on THAT AIRPLANE SPECIFICALLY. Each pilot that flies the plane spends at least a month learning everything about it, basic controls, back up systems, everything. All you need to do for a license is drive with an instructor for 30 minutes and boom there you go, another driver that shouldn't be driving is on the road.
the problem is by 'gliding' to earth who says you won't hit something? and not all car crashes are fatal. it isnt automatically guaranteed you will die if you crash in a car.
I am not sure.See in a plane you risk like 200 lives if some thing goes wrong and then you flip and then get shot down by star wars people (trust me it happens)
Kasic i agree but a plane is a very complex piece of equipment and if it were as easy to drive as a car then every one could be i pilot.
True, but in all actuality the flying part isn't the hardest, it's knowing the equipment, switches and controls, just about anyone can keep the plane in the air at least.
Your engine fails in a plane, you glide to earth.
From what I know, most planes can still fly on one engine. As for the gliding part, that isn't quite accurate. The plane itself is too heavy to just glide and keep a decent amount of lift, it's the vaccuum the occurs over the wing that gives the plane lift, not the air resistance under the wing. You can't glide well in a comercial jet. That's why you need a lot of speed to fly, if it were just the air under the wing you wouldn't need to go half as fast to get lift.
