How do airliners do it?

They overfly populated areas all the time.

During early flight test? I don't *think* so...

But airliners have been known to kill people on the ground. No manned
spacecraft ever has. So why not ban airliners from flying over
populated areas?

They only do so once in many millions of flights.
