HD,
Matt Frei's quote about airline safety (560 crashes a day) was unqualified and meaningless.
Was this figure world-wide, UK only or US only?
The Space Shuttle isn't a form of public transport - so why compare it to airline safety? Why not compare the Shuttle's safety record to that of road transport - he could then be even more dramatic by saying there'd be 2million car crashes in the UK every day?
What a pointless statistic!
