If you watch the Mayday Air Disaster show, you realize quickly that there are a million reasons why a commercial aircraft can fall out of the sky at any moment, and not a single thing anyone can do about it. One tiny mistake - a pilot error, procedural error, a missed moment, an unsaid comment, a tiny lapse in attention, an electrical fire, or a million other things.. and you’re dead. The things we tell ourselves to pretend that’s not the case… 😬

Yet, somehow, flying is still generally very safe.
