At some point, there will have been more successful flights than accidents

Yup. Like the Space Shuttle. 112 successful flights, 2 accidents. Yet we give up so easily.

If we had had this type of mindset 80 years ago, we might be flying on DC-3s by now.

ONLY one in 56 flights kills all passengers?

My, i can imagine little travelling to take place if commercial vehicles had that death rate.
