The chances of a plane crashing are so slim that it's amazing. Traveling in a plane is the safest form of transport because all of the planes communicate between one another while flying and are inspected every time they land. Unlike a car that is inspected every 3 months or so.

The chances of a plane crashing are minimal. You should not worry about flying in plane. However, small aircraft have a higher risk of crashing than large commercial planes because they are less stable...

You have a better chance of getting struck by lighting then getting in a plane crash

The chances of an aircraft crashing are very slim these days, the airline industry is one of the most heavily regulated institutions on the planet, pilots and engineers go through very rigerous exams and tests and all aircraft parts are individually tested before fitting. You are more likely to get killed by a wild giraffe.

it's 200 times safer to me on a plane than driving a car 100 times safer than riding a bike 50 times safer than taking a walk and 20 times safer than going on roller coaster rides for 10 days!!
so you don't have to worry.
