Feeling anxious after recent events like the Brussels airport attack? It's natural to feel fear, but how real is the threat compared to other daily risks? This video dives into the statistics of dying from terrorism versus far more common causes like heart attacks, car accidents, falls, or even lightning strikes and bee stings. We use data from experts like John Allen Paulos, Steven Pinker, Steven D. Levitt, and Stephen Dubner to put the risk of terrorism into a rational perspective. Discover why you're statistically far more likely to face other dangers than be affected by a terrorist attack. Learn how news media coverage can shape public perception and why the world is, statistically, safer than ever before. Don't let disproportionate fear impact your perspective or deter travel. Watch now to understand the true probability and replace panic with perspective.
