My wife flew this ‘airline’ a few years ago. The wing was partially secured with duct tape and the engine kept cutting out in flight - pilot kept on manually restarting it. She took the bus back. Not too surprising they had a crash.

I've been on plenty of questionable planes in my time, everything from Air Algeria (which weren't capable of doing instrument navigation) to Aeroflot in the USSR to Faucett in Peru to little prop planes in Zambia.

Even so, flying is still far safer than being on the highways in many places. Stuff happens... sad when it does.
