I saw a statitic that the 737 Max is around 4 deaths per million miles. Vs 0.2 for the 737 NG. So 20 times more.

Take that 4.2/20 and you have 0.21. Or flip it around the 737 Max is 5 times more dangerous than a passenger car. That's drunk driver territory.

Yep. And the sad thing is:

it’s rarely the CAR that kills you. It’s other drivers or your own negligence.

In the 737max case it’s Boeing that killed you.
