Fukushima was badly built, badly protected, and badly operated.

First few decades airplanes were deadly. Now not so much. All tech can be tamed if you put in the effort.

But what if someone doesn't. A chain is as strong as its weakest link.

yes. Modern large airplanes are more complex than reactors and have more uncertainty, and have more places on the chain they can go wrong. But they don't, at least not in the US in last 15 years. Why?

Fukushima was also befell by a strongest tsunami in decades.

And even then, the greatest damage was by the tidal wave.

All tech can be tamed, the problem is "tamed by who and for doing what against who?". As any sirian children could teach us, airplanes are deadlier than ever.

technology enables. it doesn't care about life or death. It's not supposed to.

Humans are supposed to are about life or death. Take your beef up with humans using tech to kill.
