Your feelings are perfectly valid. How you feel is how you feel and you shouldn't be belittled for it. Certainly not on here.

As uanj says perfectly, in this day and age of 24/7 real time media, the slightest things are being reported.

As a community we are essentially numb to how many people are killed daily on our roads. Imagine if the same amount of people were being killed daily via air travel?

UA operates over 4500 flights a day. And move something north of 150M people per year. Or roughly 410K per day.

Ask yourself this question, how many people lost their lives on UA yesterday?

And then remind yourself that every hour of every day, 4 people are being killed in a car. Just in North America.
