Air Safety

Next week most of the people in my office are heading off to Milan for our company’s annual “International Meeting”, typically three days of and unrestrained hedonism. Actually, it’ll be non-stop meetings, seminars and think-tanks, but I can dream. Baring this in mind, I took a look at amigoingdown.com, a site that’ll give you a statistical analysis reflecting your chances of arriving safely at your intended destination, based on airline, departure and arrival points, and time of year. It appears that my chances of dying on the outward leg of the trip are one in 5,391,499, which I can live with. Indeed, it’s apparently a little better than usual for my particular route.
