Would rather walk through Harlem or St Louis at 2 AM with an "I love Trump" sign than board one of those death machines. I'm aware of the safety stats of US planes but feel it would be among the worst ways to go down as you dont have a fighting chance.

Yeap you dont have a chance if it does fall out of the sky and nose dives but 68% of Aviation accidents the person survives. Also since the last commercial airline disaster in the US. 28 million airlines have taken off and landed safely. For example.
In the US toasters kill 700 a year
Vending machine 67
Commerical aviation 0
Chance of being of dying in a commerical aviation accident 12.64 million to one.
When you think that the average person only lives 26,000 days in there life.Comment -
I used to love to fly. Being shot back in your seat and watching those in front of you 10 feet higher than you
during takeoff. Always requested a window seat. Loved looking out the window.
Don't want to be in long lines now, being frisked and have my shit gone through. I'd rather drive.

otherwise, it'll probably end like this:

I love these threads.....more likely to get hit by a bus than die on a plane. Scared motherfukkers. Been on planes two to three times a week for 24 years and monthly since I was 3.Comment -
Jesus Christ Kelly...when is the last time you flew? And is your name Mohammed?? Haven't been frisked and/or waited in a long line in 20+ years....I used to love to fly. Being shot back in your seat and watching those in front of you 10 feet higher than you

YouTube Air Crash Investigations. That should get you over your fears real quick.
Conversely, you don't have much hope if a semi hits you head-on when you're driving, with dying in an airplane less likely to happen than that scenario.
Also, I believe this is the last major air accident in North America https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgan_Air_Flight_3407 . It was due to moronic pilots, so you should rest assure that they won't be flying your plane anytime soon.Comment -
Look at statistics. It's safe as hell.
Download a radar app. There are thousands of planes in the sky at all times. When was the last commercial airliner crash in the USA where someone died?
See my point.
I love flying. I can see how it's scary for some but after a while you become used to it.Comment -
You haven't lived until you've hit really bad turbulence where you think "this could be it."
I don't like flying either but no other way to travel the world.Comment -
I was was on a flight back from Cabo last year..sitting peacefully in seat when all this commotion from 4-5 rows back going on...people were rushing up from the back...no one knew what was going on...flight attendants looked harried. Plane momentarily slightly nosedived.. I had no idea what was going on. but really thought for a minute I might die.
They started paging overhead asking if there was a doctor on the flight. Turn out a diabetic woman had fallen into a coma, and it looked grim there for a while. Luckily there was a doctor on the flight, and they were able to give her insulin, or sugar, or whatever is needed in those situations. She ended up being ok.
Obviously this has nothing to do with the safety of plans per se, but it gave me a glimpse into how someone would feel if they thought they were going to die in a plane crash. I suppose in the case of engine failure or something, at least you have a little time to prepare, make peace with God, and say goodbye to people. I'm not sure how much time you would have, but I think I like the idea of that better than instant death in an automobile crash. Then again, there's a lot to be said for that.
Hate turbulence...not because it scares me in terms of safety, but because I get pretty motion sick.Comment -
I'm terrified of heights, but love flying. Plus, it's a quick death usually. I'd just run for a drink quick. I guess I'm more afraid of falling from heights. I can drive across a bridge, but walk across then hell no. Can't even handle the little 10 second walk across a small bridge here with fences.
May have something to do with my Dad pulling a MJ, and holding me over like a canyon rail type shit as like a 3 year old. Terrified of escalators. Thanks, the nightmares are back tonight.Comment -
