Who'd ever expect to be killed by an airplane on a beach while jogging? Who'd expect all flights to Europe being cancelled for several days or longer? Before they occurred, the probability of these events happening was likely infinitesimally small.
Of course, I don't spend any time worrying about the occurrence of such events. We just recognize that stuff can happen beyond our control. In some cases, we have insurance, e.g. survivor benefits. In other cases, we end up significantly changing our plans, e.g. stock market crash of 2009.
