ERJ-190 has 0 in-flight deaths caused by aircraft failure. In 2006 an Embraer Legacy jet collided mid-air with a boeing 737; The boeing fell to pieces, the Embraer landed safely[1]. In 2019 an Embraer ERJ-190 flew with misrrigged control cables; the aircraft was under extremely high structural load until pilots got enough control to land it safely[2].

Embraer engineers are clearly doing something right.
