According to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), aviation has become the first ultra-safe transportation system in history. That means that for every ten million cycles (one cycle involves both a takeoff and landing), there is less than one catastrophic failure.

Dan Bubb, a former pilot from Las Vegas, Nevada, told Newsweek that most holidaymakers wouldn't realise that a fellow passenger had passed away.
