How common are fatal commercial plane crashes?

According to an MIT study mentioned in the clip, fatal commercial plane crashes are extremely rare, occurring at a rate of just one in 13.7 million passenger boardings globally. This remarkably low incidence highlights the exceptional safety of commercial air travel. The incident involving a regional jet in Toronto, where all passengers survived, further illustrates this point. Safety features in modern aircraft, combined with flight attendants' rigorous training and effective emergency protocols, contribute significantly to the high survival rates in the rare cases when accidents do occur.
