Do you have any evidence that bridges, planes, trains, etc are failing at a higher rate?

I suspect you have it backwards, and these events are less frequent than ever which is what makes them newsworthy.

A false door fell off a plane and nobody died and now planes are "failing at a higher rate" but if you look at the actual statistics flying has never been safer.

Boeing MAX 8 crashed twice, but not in the US. Those hundreds of deaths will optically disperse into the generally worse air safety record of the Third World, but the mechanism had nothing to do with the usual Third World problems; it was a software error made by Boeing.

"I only lost all my data once in one year, so my data is generally safe"

A ton of bridges around the country are near their end of life and are in disrepair; something like a third of all bridges. This is mostly because so many bridges were built in the mid 20th century. The good news is states are starting to pay attention to this and are allocating more funds to address it.
