When is the last time 100,000 people got killed or badly hurt EVERY YEAR in airplane crashes? In north America cars do that every year. SIZE MATTERS.

Comparing the number killed in automobile crashes in a year to the risks from aircraft crashes is a logical fallacy of False Equivalence.

A single car crash may end the life of 1,2, or 5 people. A single aircraft crash can end the life of 250+ people.

Different steps are taken to avoid each. A wheel coming off a car is a problem that might have deadly consequences. It's normally a sign of improper installation by an amateur. A wheel falling off a commercial airliner, from a major carrier in a formerly first world country, is a sign of a very serious problem.
