US airlines have transported passengers for more than two light-years since the last plane crash

Sometimes, the most important news is when something isn’t happening.

It is hard to visualize this vast distance. In the chart, I’ve compared it with Earth’s distance from the sun. The distance passengers traveled on US airlines without a plane crash is 143,208 times further than the distance between the Earth and the Sun. So, if the distance between the Earth and the Sun is represented by a line of the length of 10cm, then the 2.3 light-years would be represented by a distance of 14.3 kilometers.
You never talk about a pitcher's perfect game either. I hope this isn't a jinx.

The last time a US airline crashed was on February 12, 2009, in New York State. Fifty people died.
That's a remarkable way to help visualize and understand the concept.
