In my life, POC means "proof of concept". Hence, this graph confuses me.

Now THIS is what this thread is all about.  Is this intentionally bad, like that bar graph of primary election dates by state? Or is this an actual gem of data presentation found in the wild?

I noticed the nonsensical "year with highest/lowest fatalities" first. Then I noticed it shows a value for August this year which is obviously low. I thought I had seen the worst. THEN I noticed the right vertical axis goes below zero - and actually, both axes are showing the same measurement so why aren't they the same and AARGH

I think they shifted it so 2016 is higher up? I find it interesting that apparently some car crashes (hearses maybe) can result in resurrection according the 2016 axis.

^^^ That one is pretty amazing in how you discover all the atrocities in waves. Though really it's probably some poor gently caress forgetting to change the secondary axis, otherwise it would've been just bad in mostly unremarkable way (except for August). Then there's this one, it seems that Fox News tactics are spreading in the wild:

The airplane one is "11,000 times more likely to die in an airplane accident than from a terrorist plot involving an airplane", while the car one is "1048 times more likely to die in car accident than from a terrorist attack", so you shouldnt try and draw a car/plane comparison from the chart, its not comparing like with like.

For some reason, the airplane one is using an entirely different metric, of how likely you are to die from a specifically airplane-related terrorist attack (of which I don't think there's been much). Even then, I would believe that car crashes are safer than plane crashes, just because I'm pretty sure a single plane crash is gonna cause a lot more casualties than a single car crash.

I think it might depend how you want to count it; By "car crashes are safer than plane crashes" do we mean "you are more likely to survive being in a car crash than survive being in a plane crash", do we mean "more people die in plane crashes than car crashes" or do we mean "a higher proportion of air travellers are killed in crashes than road travellers"? Because I'm fairly confident than not all of those statements are true although admittedly I havent checked the numbers.

Planes win all of those handily except “assuming you are in a crash, how survivable is it?”. They also win per‐traveler‐mile.

That's true. But car crashes are wildly more frequent than plane crashes. An individual car crash is less likely to be fatal, and the death count in a fatal car crash is naturally going to be much lower, but there are so so many orders of magnitude more car crashes than aviation crashes that, on aggregate, death by car crash is much, much more likely than death by plane crash. Like, the grand total number of aviation "incidents" (crashes where the plane was removed from service) in the entire world in all of 2015 was 121. Fatality total: 898. Compare this to the number of fatalities in car crashes just in Illinois in 2015: 998.
