I'd venture to say that most of the airline transport is goods, not people. So an unmanned plane would be OK...

  Even if it's cargo and unmanned, you can't let massive objects full of fuel that become uncontrollable if the engine fails fly over populated areas.

    Shouldn’t*. We let massive objects full of fuel that become uncontrollable if the engine fails drive through populated areas, and by the common clay of the west no less! Economics trumps safety, it’s all about the trade off our society is willing to make. And our society is willing to make some pretty huge ones. I for one would not be worried about a slightly higher possibility of getting hit by a falling plane, unless this system was provably very unreliable or something.
