That's a common misconception but survival rates for plane crashes are actually higher than most people think: https://boingboing.net/2012/11/05/surviving-a-pla

  On United 232, 111 people died. An additional 47 were seriously injured. The remaining 120+ people had "minor injuries", which, because the plane erupted into flames, I assume had to do with smoke inhalation. This can't seriously be considered a good outcome. The PTSD of nearly dying in a fire would personally be too much for me. Again, that is my bias. Also, are hijackings being considered here? They are common enough, terrorist or not. It would be cheeky to say that a hijacking is not an accident and therefore isn't included in the stats.
