No, he is being down voted for trying to be a smart ass.

The OP never said the main reason you should wear your seat belt is so you don't get sucked out the side of the airplane, just that massive plane construction failure is a reason. I remember an awful incident some years ago, where the roof of the plane came off when landing and everyone but a flight attendant lived because they were preparing to land. The flight attendant was in the aisle checking seat belts and preparing for landing and sadly was sucked out of the plane.

Also the only way to win the lottery is to play.

I can see how it would be taken that way. My point was that it's not a risk at all, in any meaningful sense; people are way overreacting to the risk of these events affecting them individually (not to Boeing's potential manufacturing issues).

Seriously? The way to 'win' the lottery is to not play. I mean, have some fun if you like, but don't play for profit.
