But they don't, that's the point. In the overwhelming majority of emergency landings of aircraft, nobody is hurt. It's
because plane crashes in which people die are so exceedingly rare that they do make the news which they happen. Eg, look at an airline like British Airways. How many untold millions of passengers have they carried, and yet in all their years of operating they've
never had a fatal accident in flight - not one. Flying really is an astonishingly safe activity.
