When a car crashes, there’s usually a magnitude less people impacted then when a plane crashes. But you know what? Air travel is still much, much safer than car travel. Large but infrequent incidents can be much less dangerous than smaller but more common incidents in the aggregate.

This argument would make sense if the aircraft, when they crashed, left radioactive debris with hundreds of years of threat.
Thank fuck we don’t let the nuclear industry make aircraft.
Otherwise your premise disregards the long life of the threat involved.
