Good post.

All the flaws people point out about it just made me engage with it more and I learned things I didn't know before. Even if you take out the piece of data about traffic it was interesting to see how the worst disasters in each category compare.

And I think the point you tried to make was that even some of our worst singular disaster experiences pale in comparison to the graveyards that roads are on a continued basis. And it's not like that's new information but we often just shrug it of as part of vehicular transport when there could be so much we could do to make it safer. Something we aren't able to do with most of the grand disasters yet road safety often isn't the most pressing issue in people's minds. I personally have two changes I would like to make immediately to make roads safer, if I could.
