Fear of airplanes?I am on the plane thinking...
Well, I used to think that airplanes are dangerous. The fact that I am very high in the air, and the thought of anything wrong happening with the plane up in the air, scared me. If it crashes, there is no where to run but crash on the ground and most likely die. Or it might burn or fall in the ocean.
Either way - I'll definitely die.
I travel a lot. And by travel I mean abroad by airplanes.
Everytime, there is this little scary feeling when the flight takes off and lands and when it bumps during the flight.
But I'm thinking. The percentage of an accident or something wrong happening with the airplane is very low. It would be something like maybe 1%. I don't know.
But for sure I know, it is way lower than the percentage of something like that happening with a vehicle on the road. The chance of dying on the road is higher than it is in the air.
We hear so many shocking accidents happening all the time, everyday. People die.
But how often do we hear about something like that happening to an airplane? Imagine the number of airplanes that take off and lands everyday, all the time, all around the world. We seldom hear about a plane crash. It is very minimal.
I think it is actually safer to travel by plane than by car. Traveling on the ground is a lot more dangerous than traveling in the air.
