Flying by plane is a lot safer than driving. But you have to look at it like nuclear energy. (Not going political here, folks.)

Nuclear energy is proven to be extremely safe but it's the rare disasters you hear on the news which make everybody panic. It's the same with air travel. There's FAR less accidents but when there are any, they're a lot more dramatic and are all over the news and people get the wrong idea. Personally, apart from being like a chicken in a hen house, I don't mind flying too much but i'm no fan of taking off.
