How the heck do airplanes not crash more often? To my understanding, there are millions of wires and pieces that all have to be working perfectly to keep a plane in the air, how is there not more crashes?

Ive watch every mayday episode and tons of crashes are caused by like a simple screw being put back wrong after maintenance, how the hell do all these planes get good enough inspections done even fly several hours without failing and falling out of the sky?

That’s not true, but even if it was, so what? Why do you think planes should crash more? You haven’t articulated any reason why you think that other than complexity, which is not a reason. Lots of things are complex and don’t crash/fail/explode all the time. So why exactly do you think planes should crash more often than they do?
