Saw this, & despite having a mighty cob on today, it had me proper roffling.


Boeing analyzed worldwide commercial flights from 2007 to 2016, and determined that 48 percent of all fatal accidents occurred during a flight’s final descent

    I would have expected a higher percentage.

    My favourite one is when they're talking about whatever tragic event on the news, and they say: "X people are dead and that number is expected to rise" (Because apparently we've all gotta live in mortal peril)

    Idk about anyone else, but I'm not aware of there being way of bringing people back to life yet. I think we can be pretty confident that the number isn't going to fall.

    It's "near miss" that gets me. Should be a "near hit".

    I've always been a nervous flyer, and that word "terminal" doesn't help...
