Aircraft survive because they're mechanically reliable, and airships could also be made mechanically reliable. But aircraft also survive because they're reasonably robust in adverse environmental conditions. Airships aren't and never will be, because they have to be built very large and very light or they don't work at all. Furthermore airships are slower and harder to hanger, which makes it even harder for airships to avoid bad weather. Better weather forecasting could help some, but keeping airships out of storms really is of the utmost importance.
