To be fair no giant metal tube is intrinsically safe when thrown through the air at 1000kph. Now, the MAX, obviously, less so haha.

Air travel is extremely, incredibly safe. It's safer than any means of travel have ever been in the history of the planet.

That doesn't make throwing a metal tube through the air intrinsically safe, it just means we're very cognizant of how dangerous it is.
