We thought solar eclipses and new moons were signs of terrible uncontrollable forces, too, but we know better now.

AFAIK, we never thought that of solar maximums, so if plane crashes happened every three weeks, I doubt we would think them signs of terrible forces.

Also, I would know when not to book a flight, as would everybody else.

I don't think that eclipses are in any sense "controllable".
