    Fail to land correctly a commercial plane. Either:

    • 200 to 400 people die, including you (passenger plane)
    • You and your crew die, and almost all of the cargo is wasted (cargo plane)
    • You and your crew still die, but also a public figure and their agents/family/friends/cronies (private jet).

    Fortunately landing a plane is only done by the most trained experts.

      Flying the plane is statistically safest way of travel. Dying as a pilot is far less likely than dying in car accident. Even if you count all the passangers, flying is still safer than driving a car.

        I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like his passengers.
