Odds Are
Odds of asteroid hitting the earth in 2036 that releases more energy than 100,000 Hiroshimas: 1 in 15,000
Odds of getting killed in a plane crash this year: 1 in 441,000
You have 30 years to mull this over.
Update: I have delinked the odds on the first stat as the relevant webpage went the way of the dinosaurs. However we might still do just that. A more recent article says that we’re not yet in the clear.
