I beg to differ:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fatal_accidents_and_incidents_involving_commercial_aircraft_in_the_United_States

To summarize, there have been 10 deaths (excluding 9/11, of course) due to Boeing commercial aircraft since 2000. Every one of these deaths was caused by human error. In that same time period, there were probably 750,000 deaths due to automobile deaths.

By the way, there are over 10,000 Boeing aircraft in service right now. How many are just dropping out of the sky daily? None? And I believe a 737 takes off every 30 seconds.

So, do you still agree with “It is astonishingly safe.” If you disagree, why?

Sorry - I should have prefaced that with “domestic aircraft incidents.”

They lost a couple hundred in just the two Max crashes, so you might want to go back and count again.
