You wouldn't think twice about someone driving that exact same package 3000 km though right?

Planes simply don't fall on people even in worst case scenarios.

Losing power is actually what every meat pilot trains for.

In general you're right, planes falling on people is rare, but IIRC sadly one person on the ground died when the Airbus flight PK8303 flight crashed this year in Karachi; some others were injured and most people on the flight were killed.
