There have been ten total cases of structural failure in the past twenty years of aviation. Two of those involved spacecraft (Space Shuttle Columbia and VSS Enterprise). One of them was a terrorist bombing (Metrojet 9268). One was a fighter jet (F-15).
So six left. In all of those six, there were essentially 100% casualties. So how exactly would a supersonic jet be "worse"?
