Most pilots go through their entire careers without a major incident. As one visitor suggested in our discussion board , count the number of automobile accidents that you hear of in one week, including your local traffic reports. Then count the number of commercial airplane crashes that you hear of in a week. The point is that if you cancel your airline reservations today and decide to drive to your destination, you aren't in the hands of skilled pilots anymore. You are among countless inexperienced, irresponsible and drunk drivers just feet away from you driving along the freeway at 70 miles per hour.
Accidents do happen aboard commercial airliners.
