Commercial air travel in the US is incredibly safe. The last fatal crash was in 2009.

I agree completely with the first part. But SWA-1380 was a commercial operating fatality in 2018. Not a crash into terrain, but the engine definitely crashed into the fuselage.

      Probably not much comfort for the passenger who was ejected from the plane and died...
