Nip this in the bud: Airliner hacked through inflight entertainment system.

 I sleep on commercial airliners because I know it's one of the safest ways to travel ever invented.

So do I, but only because it's so boring.

I prefer to drive myself to wherever I need to go. That way, even if I fall asleep, it's not boring!

I sleep on commercial airliners

Me too.

I am sure if the vast majority of people only traveled on roads in buses, there would be fewer vehicle accidents also.  Not a good comparison unless you want to talk about everyone with a driver's license flying including daily commutes and trips to the store.

I don't think that's a fair comparison either.  I can't imagine that the collective of private pilots (minus those who fly corporate jets) fly anywhere near the collective number of miles nor hours that commercial aviation flies.
When comparing accidents per flight hour, commercial aviation blows away private aviation.

Me too. 

Well NOW I won't.

Me too.  

Very glad I had just put my water down before reading that.

Honestly, I sleep on airliners once we are in the air. I'm well aware the most dangerous times are landing and take-off.

I'm also well aware those are still safer than driving, but my logical brain still loses out the emotional on the illusion of control you have in a car.
