There's thousands of other more dangerous things you should worry about in your daily life. Like lightning or shark attacks.

Now on the other hand, you could be taken out by an entire airplane crashing, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Airlines_Flight_587



People on the ground were also killed as a result of the Pan Am Lockerbie bombing.


And quite a few when El Al 1862 crashed into a building near Amsterdam Shiphol airport (both engines on one side of the cargo 747 had come off, plus leading edge of the wing, and when they later slowed down for landing, that side stalled irrecoverably :-/

But that's not debris, that was a whole damn 747.
