I am not disagreeing with you, but I just want to point out the absolutely stunning safety of modern air travel. Using your 99.999% number against the number of FAA flights of 16,405,000[1] per year (that's just US FAA, not global). This would result in 16405 "incidents" per year. Luckily for us, the actual number is far lower than 16405.
