    I’ve never been scared to fly, but honestly after the last year or so of all the plane crashes on the news I don’t think I’d get on a plane unless it was an emergency.

    I hear ya', pal, I'm the same way, only in an emergency, and even then . It's not that I don't feel safe on a plane, we have to remember, there are over TEN THOUSAND flights going on at any given moment, it remains the safest way to travel. You have a better chance of getting hurt on the way TO the airport. It's the airports themselves I can't handle. They seem to think weather may have played a part in the crash, but just a colossal screw up. We can't have zero risk, somebody has to pay the price. I heard, a flight attendant was found alive on the runway still strapped in her seat. :eek: One lucky gal.
