Do you feel safe flying in the friendly skies?

Tweet

With all the reports on air craft malfunctions or plane crashes would you still feel safe flying? My father is a pilot and when I was younger I asked him about this...and he said the only reason why you hear about all the crashes is because there are actually fewer planes than cars...in other words you are more likely to crash in a car than a plane. We just do not hear about every car crash. So your thoughts on this?
