This may sound condescending, but do you drive a car or ride in one as a passenger from time to time? If so, then given the carnage on the roads that kills hundreds daily all around the world, I don't know how you do it!
What I am trying to say is that thousands of successful flights are completed every day, whereas events like this one are very rare indeed, which is why it gets so much coverage. Could it have been done better? Most certainly, and as you should have noticed by now, many professional pilots on this and other forums are talking about it, and believe me, they are learning from it too. That's what's great about our industry. We learn from the errors and accidents from the past so that we can work hard to prevent them in the future. If only our roads and highways got the same level of attention to detail. Countless families would benefit every day.
So, relax and enjoy your next flight.
