Odds of being on a plane w/ terrorist incident 1 in 10,408,947

[spike]

Therefore, the odds of being on given departure which is the subject of a terrorist incident have been 1 in 10,408,947 over the past decade. By contrast, the odds of being struck by lightning in a given year are about 1 in 500,000. This means that you could board 20 flights per year and still be less likely to be the subject of an attempted terrorist attack than to be struck by lightning.

Buy me some plane tickets too while you're being so generous. I just came back from Taos Ski Valley but would love to get some more slope time in at Utah as well.
