History tells us any time it's man versus the sea the seas always win, it's only a matter of time.

2,977 people died in the WTC attack. Should I avoid buildings since they are inherently dangerous when people fly planes into them?
1,600 people is practically nothing compared to total deaths.
Everything is just a matter of time, it's just that cardiovascular disease and cancer usually takes us before other very unlikely circumstances do.
Perhaps when science eliminates natural causes of death and aging I will worry about living below a dam. Until then, I won't give a dam.
