Technically when tweeted for the given selective timespan, but no longer true since the crash this year in DC.

Still, mind blowing. When fact checking this I learned we went over 2 passenger light years worth of airline travel with no fatalities during that time frame. Incredible safety record. Real shame this year has been so terrible for our reputation.

I'm kinda interesting in the same statistics for trains, although I wouldn't be surprised if we don't travel near that distance with trains.

Yes, when I saw the tweet, I thought the next crash might be near, and then happened DC soon after.
