Flying to U.S. in 5 days....terribly nervous..

[Ana]

I have no desire to be on a plane right now after what has happened.

On Sept. 11, I was over the atlantic ocean coming from greece when the pilot said "bad news, we have to turn around...yada,yada".

I have my ticket, I know I have to pack my bags EVENTUALLY, but I just feel numb. You know what I mean? Like it's not going to happen, I'm not flying in 5 days... an unrealistic feeling. I'm afraid I'll just freak all of a sudden like boarding the plane, sitting in my seat. I need to make this real somehow, to get my ass in gear and start packing already. I was on the Greek news, woop di doo.

I should check the phamacies for valium.

I have my Sept. 11 ticket still...my dad said I should keep it and frame it, I don't know. I don't think I'd want to see that thing on my wall and be reminded of it daily.

I can only imagine how you feel. I would look into some mild sedatives....if it was me anyhow, especially since the flight from Greece to here is so long..it might make it that much worse......
A relative of a relative flew over here from Italy on Tues. ...she's an older women. Last week she was refusing to fly here, then a couple days before she decided to come. She was nervous and such before, but, she's a strong women and stubborn and ddi it anyhow......sometimes you have to do things, even if you're afraid.....I'm sure you'll do OK.
I wish you well.

You better use a lot of melatonin and valium cause our airport security is joke. I would go through a foreign terimal, airline rather than a domestic USA one.

 

[Crazier]

There's no reason to fear death. It's the people left behind that hurt. Have a drink and board your plane.

don't be. flying couldnt be any safer... HONESTLY

 

[Ana]

AHHHH!...I'm not a puss or anything, but my nerves are driving me up the wall. My stomachs in a complete knot. Breathe...
I haven't ate anything all day (almost 8pm. here) and know I should...I just don't wanna.

I could simply drink some of that cheap white wine they have and relax.

Must start packing...

You guys are sweethearts. Thanks for the well wishes momma.

I fly US domestic 2x per week minimum. Since Sept. 11th I have been in the air 5 times without a concern and I'll be back in the air tomorrow. I am better off flying now than I was on Monday the 10th. Security is obviously a (welcome) "hassle" but I gotta tell ya', havin' all the part-timers, hill-billies and weak-tits staying home has made my travel life a whole lot better.

Get on the plane.

Later,

Ana, don't be scared. It is perfectly understandable but now is probably the safest time to fly. You will be fine.

 

[amaritto]

Dont be scared, there is nothing to worry about. I left the 14th out of Detroit to Sydney. The security is crazy and the flights are empty. I would rather fly now than before.

 

[Ana]

Really? So it's not as crowded? Well, that's always a plus.

I land in JFK and have 2hrs. and 10 min. to check in to my connecting flight. With security so tight I hope that's enough time.

 

[RADAR]

Everything will be cool the pilot and everyone will make sure you have an enjoyable flight now is the best time to fly!!!! RADAR

The scenarios that were played out on Sept will likely never happen that way again. If there are 4 or 5 terrorists armed with knives on board and 200+ passengers to overcome them you have nothing to worry about. In fact terrorists should have more to fear boarding a plane than you. If my plane was hijacked at this point I would make sure those fuckers lost their lives and I'm sure most passengers would be with me. They would never make it into the cockpit.

Sept 11th happened the way it did because the passengers on the aircraft never dreamed they were on a suicide mission.

You will be fine. Just get on the plane and before you know it you'll be safe on the ground in the greatest country in the world!

Satanic goatslayer, wha?
Well you make me laugh either way...

Thanks all, I mean..it's not worth being stressed over. I have to get on the pl*ne(man,I don't even like typing the word).

I was thinking if it were my pl*ne hi-j*cked...wouldn't you literally jump over the seats to attacK the M*ther F*cker? At least say to the people next to you "Hey you get him and I'll get that one".
Do something, anything.
D*mn.

Your right there, but as JuicyGirl said, nobody expected a suicide mission, because hijackings in the past have mostly meant that the plane lands somewhere waiting for terms to be met.

But with this incident, I bet passengers would think "fuck it, do or die" and jump those bastards. And with the security, I think it would be very difficult to get bombs onboard, and the hijackers probably faked that one.

Go check out AmIGoingDown.com for some probabilities.

I just flew.. across the country no less... it'sno big deal.. people actually seem nicer on planes now, and the flight attendants, and pilots joke around a little more than they used to.. where you notice the difference is not in the air, its on the ground before you get to the plane.. fucking every one asks for your id.. so you better make sure you have it, and it's up to date too.. the look at the expiration dates on your id.. I almost got fucked, my driver licsense exp next month...
