A World total of 56m people died in 2012. Kinda puts it all into perspective.

I flew for forty years and only even heard of two fume/smoke events.
One was smoke in FD and the other was on a freighter on pushback caused by a broken cargo chemical bottle.
Oh, yes, there was one other when an RAF trainer tossed a blazing ball of newspaper into the sim to make it more realistic
I am definitely NOT saying that OP events never happen in aircraft but I think we are becoming a bit polarised.
We humans seem to just love tribal conflict - nature of the beast, I guess.
