Are More People Killed by Plane Crashes or Donkeys?

The donkey versus airplane myth probably started in a 1987 London Times article, when an airline safety expert off-handedly -- and most likely hyperbolically -- suggested that more people were probably kicked to death by donkeys than killed in airplane crashes." |
Thanks for sharing
You know, that in and of itself is pretty interesting!
In my own "research" I found this bit of info about a Mayor in Texas that @Litos might know who was killed by a donkey:
