In a discussion with a woman on Saturday, who was voicing concern about flying (UK internal..??) it was unfortunate that the social circumstances did not permit me to tell her the truth in all but the most polite manner ....

If you wish to reduce your risk of dying in the next 12 months. Do not drive your car. Do not travel as a passenger in a car and be particularly careful when a pedestrian. In the next month, more people will die around the world from the car, than died on 11th Sept. at WTC/Pentagon.

Whilst death by car may seem less awful than death by terrorist flying bomb - it is still death and families grieve the same way.
