The Odds of Being a Victim of Airborne Terror

after the most recent attempt to blow up a plane by the ‘under­wear idiot’,  the media has once again gone on an air­borne ter­ror frenzy. jesus diaz of giz­modo made this rather artis­tic and enter­tain­ing info­graphic by data col­lected from nate sil­ver from fivethirtyeight.com.

so, as you can see the odds of you being on a ter­ror plane are quite slim. we can only hope that the new tsa (trans­porta­tion secu­rity admin­is­tra­tion) rules will help reduce those odds by another 0.000000001%.
