Airline safety has improved so much that the chances of dying in an air crash are now less than being elected president, according to a safety expert. For the first time since jet travel began, not a single person died in a crash of a US carrier for two years, when 1.5 billion passengers flew, reports USA Today.
"It's a new record," said an airline safety expert at MIT. "While it doesn't mean risk is non-existent, it certainly means they have done a fantastic job at keeping threats at bay."
