[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The drive to the airport is the most dangerous part[/quote] That’s true in the aggregate, but National is a much riskier airport than average due to the short runways and crowded airspace. FWIW, I don’t believe driving to Dulles instead creates any meaningful incremental risk. [/quote] Please, I implore you, pull the actual risk calculations per mile of driving and per mile of flying. Basically: 0.54 deaths per 100 million miles driven (2022) 0.01 deaths per 100 million miles flown (that was 2009, the last year with a fatal commercial US airline crash) https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/home-and-community/safety-topics/deaths-by-transportation-mode/ So do whatever you want, but one of those is 54 times than the other, relatively speaking. Seems like a pretty easy decision to me. Even if you think DCA is 5 times riskier than any other airport, still 10 times safer than driving. [/quote]
