> The last time a structural failure of an aircraft resulted in a crash was in 2000 and it was a design that entered service in 1959.

While I agree with your point, if the scope is scheduled airline flights in the USA, AA flight 587 crashed on 2001-11-12; globally, Egypt Air 804 on 2016-05-19. There have also been a few close calls, such as Qantas 32 on 2010-11-04, and collisions can also occur, such as that between BAL flight 2937 and DHL slight 611 on 2002-07-01, and Gol Transportes Aéreos flight 1907 with a business jet on 2006-09-29. And, given the topic is things going catastrophically wrong at altitude, there is AF447 on 2009-06-01.

Now do a similar list with every road fatality following mechanical problems. We’ll wait.

We only need to wait as long as it takes you to find, read and understand my first six words here.
