Answer 7

According to the FRA, there were four passenger fatalities on the rails last year, out of 493,996,586 passengers.

And according to the NTSB, 19 airline passengers perished in American accidents last year, out of 620 million passengers. (That aviation figure doesn't include four crew members who died in two separate incidents.)

Break down those raw numbers, and U.S. air travel seems slightly more dangerous.

Answer 8

i would spend 24 hours on a train before i would spend an hour on a plane. i am claustrophobic and can't stand to fly. trains are safe, and they supply such a scenic trip.
