The point is that there are risks in everything, and trying to make aviation safer is a sisyphean task at this point.

This is the crux of the whole business.

When you do a risk assessment, you consider two things.

1. The likelihood of the event.

I don't agree for one!

It all depends on what you are doing/flying.

An iconic aircraft in a museum is like a priceless painting kept in the dark.
