i don't think peoples fear is that the plane will slowly skid off the runway and into the soft grass or into the snow.
Those numbers are a bit irrelevant if your concerned about a plane losing power in flight (KLM 867 which happened right in front of my house) , serious mechanical failure at cruising altitude (Alaska air flight 261), an in flight collision (Russian tu-54/DHL plane over Germany) and so on.
people need to man up and get a grip. its a fact that you will die. life is not permanent. just like a dog that's happily playing one second and then darts in front of the car the next and its over. you are no different than the bugs that are buried deep in the grill of your car. there doesn't have to be a reason. there doesn't have to be a purpose. there doesn't have to be a good explanation.
Being afraid to die is a bit absurd given that its affecting your quality of your life while your alive.
