What is the risk that an airplane will crash into the site?
When all the aircraft that could potentially fly near the proposed site location are considered, the combined probability that one will crash into the site is 0.66 x 106 (0.66 in one million) per year. The chance that a military aircraft would hit the site is 0.4 x 106 (0.4 in one million) per year. This is roughly equal to the chance per year that any given person living in the United States will be killed by being struck by lightning. It is ten times less likely than the chance that any given person living in the United States will be killed in a plane crash.
