Senator Collins: Yeah, the one the door fell off?
Interviewer: Yeah
Senator Collins: Yeah, that’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.
Interviewer: Well, how is it un-typical?
Senator Collins: Well there are a lot of these planes going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that planes aren’t safe.
Interviewer: Was this plane safe?
Senator Collins: Well, I was thinking more about the other ones.
Interviewer: The ones that are safe?
Senator Collins: Yeah, the ones the door doesn’t fall off.

There are over 100,000 commercial airline flights per day around the globe, nearly half of which are in the United States.
In the 18 MILLION U.S. flights per year, there are usually less than a dozen catastrophic incidents, very few of which result in passenger fatalities.

Your chance of dying on a commercial flight in the United States is roughly 0.000000016%.
You are SIX HUNDRED TIMES more likely to be struck by lightning

I thought we were going with "it was gays and women", now it's "ok maybe it wasn't gays and women but not that many died". Tomorrow it will be "ok a lot of people died but they were probably cheating on their wive"

Some planes more vulnerable than others. 737 MAX already has death toll in the hundreds and it's only been a couple years. It's the pinnacle of uncaring leadership and outright malicious hiding of faults from governing bodies to save money

>we
You think /n/ is one person? You've got oldfags, njb retards, boing shills on damage control, tourists who think all of 4chan is as racist as /pol/, and just general plane enthusiasts. They're all going to have a different take on this. Here's the ultimate take, though:
>Boeing is a fish that has rotten from the head
>McDonald-Douglass leadership created a corporate environment of chasing dollar signs over quality (and letting money follow)
>Due to this greed, Boeing hired lots of foreign and/or nonwhite labor, for the dual reasons of ESG bonuses and because that labor doesn't demand as much pay
>You get what you pay for, so Boeing is producing crap
>It doesn't matter because the government is going to bail these faggots out anyway

>737M has a death toll in the hundreds
two crashes by th*rdies.

For context, the A320 has killed over 1,500 people in 17 accidents over 36 years, so roughly a catastropic fatal accident every other year

737M has been in active service since 2017 and has had two fatal accidents, worldwide. Against 500 acft flying roughly 5 times a day in the U.S. is nearly a million flights per year with one hull loss in seven years gives you an accident rate of 0.0000000142, slightly LOWER than the U.S. national average.

no it was grounded for years

They didn't even have 500 deliveries worldwide until 2021 so not 7 years
