Sorry can't quite follow your logic. If one was afraid of flying per se one would never travel by air at any time, regardless of the destination. The chance of an accident happening is always there when flying but is far less than, for instance, when travelling by car - it's just that it is more than likely to be fatal!
No, this latest accident just drew my attention to (and highlighted) China Air's safety record which is pretty damn poor.
