Ataturk Airport

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.

Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.

I was at Ataturk Airport with my parents in January 2011, after spending two weeks in Turkey on holidays. They were living in London at the time, so I was flying back with them to the UK before heading home to Australia. As we were standing looking at the monitors trying to work out which check-in desk to go to, a casual friend of mine from Melbourne happened to walk past. She was in transit on the way over from Syria. Despite having only met one another briefly at various parties, we still managed to recognise each other and took a photo of our chance meeting for our respective holiday albums!
