testing the fates (part 2 - the picture)

EDITED: 10/1/2011

According to this diagram, if we test the fates and they want us to lose... we lose.

You're not going to be tens of thousands of feet in the air and consider yourself  anywhere near "safe" except on an airplane. On a good note, we've come a long way. On a bad note, the thought of the danger make me paranoid every so often. During the last flight, it manifested itself into the following drawing:

I know it's a little hard to read but the basic point is simple: If something happened in the air, it's a LOOOOOOOOOONG way down.

Like 15 1 World Trade Centers stacked on top of each other.

I mean the Statue of Liberty has nothing on this distance.

What about the world's tallest roller coaster? Laughable.

That's why you should try really hard to care about taking a long, hard look at that safety manual "in the seat back pocket in front of you."
