There is a pretty decent list here

Of course some are pilot errors, some are malfunctions and some are both. But the point is that accidents do happen quite regularly.

You are correct.  There are some on the list that certainly qualify as large passenger airline fatal accidents.    It's rare when they pin it down to a failed aircraft that was regularly maintained.

80+% of all aviation accidents are attributed, at least in part, to pilot error. That said, in the modern era, flying on a commercial aircraft just about anywhere in the world is statistically safer than driving to work in the morning.
