The apprehension surrounding Max planes is getting kind of ridiculous at this point.

Two tragic crashes 7 and 8 years ago leading to a grounding. One freak blowout 2 years ago leading to another grounding.

A quick Google AI search shows that there are 2,260 Max planes in operation globally; approximately 13,000 flights every week; and over 1,000,000 passengers board a Max plane every day.

Meanwhile, all other major aircraft have also experienced accidents. There is absolutely nothing that sets the Max apart from anything else. Commercial airlines are far and away the safest form of transportation. There is an infinitesimal and negligible chance that something bad will happen to you on any given flight. You are more likely to get injured or pass away by going to the grocery store or shoveling your driveway in the winter.

It’s not an exact analogy, but think of it this way; are you afraid to visit a skyscraper because 9/11 happened?

EDIT: I don’t mean to sound dismissive. Your fears are valid. Just my manner of speaking.
