Sukhoi pitches SuperJet to Iranian carriers with offer of partial manufacturing in Iran

Although your overall statement is true but your references and numbers are so old as it seems...

Iran had only 16K casualties due to car accidents last year.. This makes it almost 33 minutes to fulfill your equation my friend...

Iran had 38K casualties in 2000, it went down to 28K in 2009, then again decreased to as low as 16K dead last year... Let us not forget that in 2000 we only had around 10 million cars in streets while it is now around 30 and there as an additional 1.3 million new cars on roads every year... This means the reduction in road casualties is semi-Miracle... although it does not change your point about car and plane fatalities...

I used to be scared of flights too due to seeing one to two planes falling off the sky every year in Iran, but since we retired topolovs the rate fell considerably for commercial flight accidents in Iran... Anyway, after I compared the chance of dying on a plane with that of cars on roads, I came to realize that we are trapped by media panic... It is safe...

Hehe, smart guy. Good analysis.

It's still faulty though. The real calculation that needs to be done is to compare death per distance. That is, calculate probality of death per km by car and per km per plane.

But unfortunately we middle easterns are so shitty at gathering and analysing data, so that's not available. For example, Check out the data at sabteahval.ir. it's all in shitty PDF format which means to analysis any data, you have to convert it from PDF to excel to work on it.
