Attached are two graphs of the Probability of getting hit with an airplane.
There are a few assumptions but all are reasonable.
1) Every flight crashes
2) Each Person is 5 ft^2 and the plane does not have area

In the first graph, This is real data collect from a Turbine plane.
The second graph is the same data divided by two. Not a prop plane
(I assumed a prop plane Goes 1/2 as fast and 1/2 as far)
Also in the second graph I calculated the odds with 1681 people standing 30 feet
Behind the pilot. Then I calculated the odds of any one of these people getting
Hit with an out of control plane..
Graph 1:
One Pilot flying a turbine, Odds of getting hit are ~1,000,000 to 1
Graph 2:
1681 people 30 feet from pilot Odds of getting hit are 213 to 1
This Probability calculation may or may not be accurate but its very good at
showing us what is important.
