A couple in RSA, but they were on normal planes. Half a dozen in Botswana. Two of the planes I was in crashed within a month of my flights. Five in Kenya on the last trip. Only one of them was on a >10 seater, and that plane was the worst.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

I made the mistake of looking on that pilots forum a few years ago. Oddly I only fly to, from and in certain countries...."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

You can only ever reduce risk, you can never avoid it. The effort involved in lowering risk further can cost too much, and/or cause concomitant increase in risk elsewhere, and/or restrict our current freedoms to such an extent as to make life unlivable.
So the danger of being killed by an ISIS or other terrorist is significant. To reduce the risk lets just not let anyone in unless we can be sure they are innocent and then we will have reduced it significantly.

The chances of being killed by a terrorist is not significant.
The chances of a terrorists trying to get into Europe through refugee channels has been deemed to be significant.
The powers that be have decided that the sufficient and proportionate response is to beef up security across borders.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
