People said that about electricity, too. A lot of people died. Houses burned. Norms were changed regarding cabling and earthing. Hopefully, whatever we decide to adopt as a technology will come with adequate safety norms. While only tangentially related, a lot of people think about the Hindenburg accident when talking about either hydrogen or dirigibles. But those contain less fuel than an airplane, at least in terms of energy. And 35 people died, around a third. To contrast with airliner accidents. But it sure left a mark on collective psyche. And I agree that hydrogen is incredibly volatile and explosive, which isn't a good fit for every application.
