I highly doubt there have been 11 million airliners manufactured, though - and that's what the 348 number is.

If we assume that the average MAX 8 has been in service for a year (first delivery was a little less than 2 years ago), and conducts 4 flights a day, we get this [0] - a mean of 1/250000. Still worse than 1/11000000, but only by a factor of 50 instead of 50 thousand.

Good point, I was wondering why I was off orders of magnitude.
