Issues Project Airline Saftey Blog 1

For my topic I am covering airline safety and how it is becoming the safest way to travel.  Plane crashes tend to get more media attention then other types of accidents because of how many people die at once.  In the year 1996 TWA flight 800 exploded after takeoff  killing 230 people yet that same week 842 people died in motor accidents and the aircraft was the years top press story.  If you think about that 842 people compared to 230 people that is a big difference.   The new media likes to take things out of proportion because that is just how the media works.
