Despite the fact that many air passengers worry about them, plane crashes are in fact extremely rare. There are a wide range of estimates given by different sources, but the odds of dying as a plane passenger are usually quoted as around 1 in 200,000. This compares with odds of 1 in 4,000 for dying
