Airplane is not just a vehicle , It is a dream for people in early 90s .
"HUMANS CAN'T FLY FOR MILLION YEARS"- This is told by new York times in 1903 ,Back in October 1903, The New York Times published an editorial titled “Flying Machines Which Do Not Fly” that boldly claimed humanity would never see an operational flying machine for “from one million to ten million years”—or until we evolved wings or some mythical breakthrough.
Just 69 days later, on December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers achieved the first powered, controlled, heavier-than-air flight at Kitty Hawk—effectively rendering the NYT’s million‑year claim comically wrong.
Air transport:
Air transport is a dream for several middle class people in India , and it is expensive. I not used air transport like majority. Today air transport is the only quickest way to connect countries and long distances. It reduced time to travel. Which is the major reason for today's world advancement.
Also air transport is being used by most people nowadays , though we reached huge advancement in air transport , we are luxurious in flight now., But whether we can say air transport is 100% safe.
Air transport is not safe:
In this world neither transport is not 100% safe like cars , trains. But I want to say Air transport is not safer for many reasons.
- In other means of transport , accident is due to human mistake 99% times. When we go too much speed in car we met with accident, or when other car comes with high speed. But these accidents are 100% controllable or predictable. But in means of planes major crashes are due to technical mistakes other than humans. We can't predict any accidents in flight . In land transport there is no major role of climate in accident . whereas in plane things can change any second. This makes planes more scarier .
- Also in other transports , when we met with accident , there is a high percentage to survive . but almost in plane crashes all passengers in that plane will die.
- When there is accident in land transport , there will be only a few life losses because there is chance for person to escape, but in planes the loss of life per single accident is very high . We can't survive by our own.
.We must make air transport safe, there should be a chance to survive when we met with accident because accidents can't be zero. In next rounds I say about some real life planes accidents.
sorry, due to some issues I delayed argument.
This would be a spicy debate
not safer than any other common transports road, sea, track.
actually i will accept this debate
OMG i wish i could accept this but it would be so much on my plate!!!!!
it is such an interesting debate
A contraption weighing 320tons, with 60000 litres of fuel and 340 people on board is inherently unsafe, and a tragedy waiting to happen.
Every time you fly, you take a risk.
I would likely start that debate, but as below, safer than when?
safer than what?
