Statistically, flying in a commercial aircraft is safer than driving your own car. However, aircraft accidents do happen and typically the results are tragic. Aviation disasters most often occur as a result of pilot error, improper maintenance, contamination of fuel, mechanical or design flaws, or air traffic controller negligence.
