"Your probability of getting hit by lightning is greater than getting hit by a terrorist. Imagine that. But doomsday believers always outnumber the skeptics.
Meanwhile, the hyper terrorist paranoia fed by the Bush administration has taken on a life of its own. It's a destructive absurdity."
Nice of you to use the old lightning strike analogy.
My airline recorded 7 lightning strikes last week.
The aircraft are designed from the outset to deal with lightning strikes.
Flight crews are trained to deal with lightning strikes.
There are tools and procedures in place in the event of lightning strikes.
My airline has not lost an aircraft due to lightning.
It has lost aircraft due to terrorists.
Never again.
