You definitely can't say the same about a car. Air Canada transports over 30 million passengers a year, and the last fatal accident was in 1983.

It really does seem to be an irrational fear. I've googled saftey records (I know probably not smart) and despite all the statistics is seems like you will find one or two times and just focus on them.
Flying down the road at 140km in a car?..no Problem
Flying on a commercial airline...terrifying
