A key difference is that if you had been hit in a plane, you wouldn't
be here to talk about it.


On average, 50,000 die annually in US automobile accidents. How many
MAC occur annually, and how many result in death for their occupants?
The military just ejects or continues flying after impact. And the
recent airline/glider MAC left all safe.
