I fly because I know the stats. I worry because the stats for survival are low (or worse, you actually survive the impact). It also doesn't help that I live near a major airport and almost on a fortnightly basis we get reports of planes declaring minor emergencies and having to turn around or be diverted. Occasionally it may be bird strike/engine fire.
