Planes crash very, very rarely nowadays. Two crashes overseas (correctly) grounded all planes of the type for years. Russia shot one down a couple of years back. A crazy deliberately crashed another in the Indian Ocean. It is many, many times safer to fly than to drive the same distance. This is almost miraculous. It is also almost miraculous that the measures to make it so safe do not make flying enormously more expensive than it is.
