No way that Aviation is at only 600. There has been 1977 an accident with 2 Boeing 747 on Teneriffa, where nearly 600 died.
600 single Aviation accidents in general since invention is more likely.

Read the title. The graphic is comparing the worst single accidents (i.e. the 1977 disaster for aviation) with annual traffic deaths.

Well, ok. Should’ve taken the extra seconds for reading. Anyway I’m proud of my memory, as I hadn’t to google that accident.

Really not your fault, it's a confusing graphic. Because ALL TIME and ONE YEAR are highlighted, it really sets you up to think this is comparing all aviation deaths ever.
