For every 100 million passenger miles flown by BOAC, 2.3 passengers had died in crashes, all North American carriers averaged 3.78. BSAA's figure was 61.6.
Or put another way, with BOAC, one passenger had died for every 18,900 flown. BSAA was killing one passenger for every 385 that they flew
I don't understand that. If there are 2.3 fatalities every 100,000,000 miles wouldn't the fatality rate be just under 50,000,000 miles, not 18,900? (actually 43,478,261)
