Well, we shall see. If a 172 crashes into a house or business, killing

Well, it's "statistically inevitable" that a 40-tonne articulated
truck will one day run off a road and into a sports field full of kids.
Let's ban trucks. It's "statistically inevitable" that a car, being
driven purely for recreational purposes, will leave the road and plough
into a line of school children waiting for the bus. Let's ban cars!
