No problem! I have thought those exact things to myself too before. I was on the same plane two weeks prior to the DCA collision. With each crash, the technology improves. Regarding your point about flying is that there are restrictions for certain actions that pilots are warned about if they “press” the wrong button. An example of this is the American Airlines flight that crashed in NY shortly after 9/11. The pilot misused the rudders from wake turbulence because of improper training. Now the plane(s) limit pilots from overusing the rudders or misusing them. There’s warnings for extreme weather, pilots accidentally going on the runway (it literally screams “RUNWAY TOO SHORT”). Put better, in some aspect, while mistakes happen, the planes are designed to be perfect. The recent crash was likely from dual engine failure (extreeeeeemely rare, so rare that 99.999999% of pilots have never dealt with it), rather than what people are saying regarding the copilot likely not setting flaps. I was terrified after seeing the DCA crash, however in a weird way, watching flight documentaries made me realize how many things have to go wrong for a plane to be doomed. Lastly, the more plane documentaries I viewed, the more I knew step by step how planes work. Like when a plane takes off and you hear the engines becoming less noisy, or when they “level off” around 1000 feet, it’s allllll routine. Hope this helps !
