You are MUCH more likely to die on the drive to the airport, than you are to die on an airplane.
Car accidents are never televised, because the news would be monotonous--someone dies in a car accident every 12 minutes! There are 40,000+ automotive fatalities AND 2.5+ million automotive injuries per year in the US alone.
The few hundred in a plane that crashes are guaranteed to be in the news not because of its brutality (have you ever seen a bad car accident?) but because it happens so infrequently.
The only thing threatening the safety of flying (statistically at least) is the fear of flying itself.
