Although the difference is it's actually made me less nervous of flying as ACI is mostly full of facts...
Same, watching Air Crash Investigation (and general reading about aviation accidents in general) has taught me how much generally have to go wrong for a plane to crash. The other thing I learned is how much safer the last few generations of aircraft are compared to older ones.
Airbus A340 hasn't had a single fatal crash. A330 (2-engine version of the same aircraft) has had two fatal crashes, both caused by pilot error.
Boeing 777 was fatality free until the Asiana landing short of the runway in San Francisco (pilot error), and the three people who were ejected from the fuselage (the rear broke off) died as a result. Had they worn their seat belts for landing, they'd be alive today. The subsequent two fatal crashes was the one MH aircraft disappearing (very likely pilot suicide) and one being shot down.
These are 30 year and 26 year old aricraft families with millions of service miles. Their safety record is spectacular compared to generations before them.
