bro. no.. 1- I did it per trip not per person. 2- the data counted it per passenger miles: so busses and airplanes passenger miles were = number of passengers x number of miles travelled.
Open it yourself and check.
And you dont have to believe anything or anyone. There've been close to 4 trillions rides in cars in that caused these numbers of deaths between 2000-2009 compared to something like 4 billion airplane rides in the same period. Another factor that skewed this data is like I said number of passengers: in cars the average is 1-2 people -vs- in airplanes the average is probably 100 people. You cannot ignore those two factors I mentioned which gave you this junk statistics. That's why the per trip calculations favor cars heavily no matter what numbers you assume and plug in. People fucking clap when their plane lands... no one claps when a taxi gets them their destination alive.. lol. you dont see cap drivers giving you emergency landing proceedures before every ride for this reason I calculated.
Again for the 10th time Im repeating this is per TRIP, not person, not miles, not passenger miles, not even hours... You do the math yourself after you understand what you're trying to calculate.
Yes. I know. And I've been trying to tell you repeatedly now. That's the problem. That's the fault in your methodology. You can't count it per trip, and then count the deaths per person.
