There's really a lot of checks and balances in the whole system to make sure that, apart from some exceptionally severe failures, it's almost impossible for one single thing going wrong to bring down an aircraft. Almost always, it's a whole snowballing combination of unfortunate factors that does so, and there are effective ways of dealing with those before they snowball. |
Agreed....far more dangerous driving a car or crossing a road.
Mind you...more people survive car crashes and accidents involving pedestrians than those that survive a plane crash
