Plane crashes are rare compared to car crashes. They make big headlines because of the number of people killed at one time. Air fatalities are probably in the hundreds world wide. About 40,000 people die in America each year in car accidents. This is not big news because it's one or two at a time.

a very small number of people die from plane crashes compared to how many people fly in a day. You have a greater chance of dying in a car wreck then in a plane crash.

Accidents are extremely rare, with the probability of a passenger being killed on a single flight at approximately eight million-to-one. If a passenger boarded a flight at random, once a day, everyday, it would be approximately 22,000 years before he or she would be killed.
And the statement that more people get killed by a donkey than an airline crash is an urban legend...

More people get killed by a donkey than a plane and you actually have greater chances dying on your way to the airport. I would say considering that, not too many people die on a plane.

Assuming that you are driving to the airport, you are about 50 times more likely to be killed in a car wreck on the way to the airport than dying in an air crash.
