fuggggggg flying!!!

Man up! I'm gonna send you a non-refundable SW Airlines ticket.
 
If God wanted me to fly ...

he'd lodged a Pratt & Whitney F100 jet engine complete with an afterburning turbofan up my ass


just sayin'
 
Nobody gets out of life alive.....if you're concerned about flying then you should have traded in the Yaris a long time ago...you're more likely to die in your bathtub.
 
come on....it's totally normal to be nervous about flying....at least in your bathtub you have some sort of sense of control over the situtation. Once you're up in the air...well..:qt:

I want some sort of control over how I die if I can. I'm not concerned about death itself but my life isn't futile either. My last moments are not going to be falling towards the earth in terror if I have anything to say about it...and when I do get on planes...I'm not comfortable with the small chance it could happen. :) So naturally...I'm nervous.
 
I love airplanes and flying, and in fact I attended flight school and passed the FAA exam to get my general aviation license... But ran out of $ to pay the instructor before my time was up to log my 40 hours :( . But I HATE to fly on commercial flights since the new terrorist crap rules (which do nothing to stop terrorism, BTW). I usually commute between Dallas and Los Angeles by car. It only takes 21 hours, and it can be an easy 18 hours to fly when you count the cab rides, stopovers, and airport delays. The worst was a "short, LOL" flight from LA to Vancouver... Nearly 20 hours to go 990 miles.

Just to be clear, I'd have no issues getting on any of the planes being questioned for cracks. Those will be safer than ever, once inspected.

plane crash is a way scarier death than tub drown, niz naz
 
What if you get sucked out of a plane? - Technology & science - Science - DiscoveryNews.com - msnbc.com

"There are a number of critical physiological problems that would be life-ending, likely within seconds," said Peter Wagner, a physician and physiologist at the University of California, San Diego. "Forget about the fact that you don’t have a parachute. You would be instantly exposed to very, very low oxygen levels. Within three or four seconds, my guess is that you would be breathing like hell."

Loss of consciousness and death would soon follow purely from oxygen deprivation to the brain, Wagner continued. At the same time, temperatures of -70 degrees Fahrenheit (-57 degrees Celsius) — made even colder by the chill of 500 mile-per-hour (805 kilometer-per-hour) winds — would lead to rapid freezing, beginning with the skin, eyes and other surface tissues.

In response to such extreme stress, your nervous system would go haywire, leading to potentially fatal spikes in blood pressure and heart rate. And the sudden change in air pressure would lead to a nasty case of the bends, as if you were scuba diving and came up too fast.

Then, there’s the danger of getting slammed into the plane on the way out, not to mention the trauma of falling.
"You would probably be cut in half or something, depending on what you hit and what part of the body connected," Wagner said. "All kinds of awful imagery are possible."
 
I try to fly Southwest exclusively. They have one of the best safety records (if not the best) and I love their customer service.

This event wont change much for me. I'm glad nobody was seriously injured.

loll..have you ever started the process of drowning? There is a reason "simulated drowning" is torture..

oh really? You said that we had a better chance of dying in our bathtub...what is the chance we are going to be murdered by drowning or tortured to death...or tortured at all? :rolleyes: If we die in our bathtub it's because we did it on purpose or because we hit our head and are not conscious. lol @ that being worse than a terrifying plane crash. Come on.

Well, considering I volunteered to jump out of perfectly good airplanes into a combat zone...dying due to a mechanical malfunction or human error is pretty much irrelevant...

You can fall in the bathtub and not have it be a suicide or murder.... but that's irrelevant because the probability of death from flying is so small that it isn't worth considering as a way you might die. You would be better served by using your seat belt...

First, you're assuming that being afraid is greater than other forms of suffering; Perhaps to you it is.

Countless people die after falling and breaking their hip a long and painful process..as well as a number of other horrific degenerative diseases. Most people in this country linger and suffer from months to years before they die. Dying in a plane crash is merciful because it's quick.

I already said you could fall and hit your head.

You might feel that is a merciful death but that is your opinion. Who are you to tell me or anyone else what I should and shouldn't fear, and how I should and shouldn't want to die?

I'm all about personal choice mi amor but there are rational and irrational fears.
 
I'm flying out to SD in may...will be the first time I've flown since the vamped up security. Should be interesting. I've never been afraid of flying though....I actually love it, so long as I don't get stuck next to the smelly fat kid.
 
I don't like flying (or at least the thought of it, I'm fine when I'm up there) but I do it anyway, because you can't live in fear of what might happen.
