Scared of flying, so if I did have to take a flight, I wouldn't watch anything that involved plane crashes.
do it!!!
one time me and my brother flew, we had just watched it, and the landing gear wouldnt deploy
our first thought was "holy shit fireball explosion landing yay"
then the captain told us they would now circle for a while (2 hours) and we explained to an old lady next to us how circling=fuel-dumping, in order to avoid a fireball explosion landing
it turned out well tho, the wheels came out by themselves after 2 hours of circling :]
No way. If I done that, I would have a panic attack before I even got on the plane
If I had to fly, I would probably take a handfull of valium before I got to the airport, and spend the whole flight in a happy daze. I would hopefully be too wasted to care if I die in a massive fireball
awwww
im paradoxally too realistic to be afraid of flying and too realistic to feel completely safe. then again, i feel similarily when riding w friends in a car. in fact, i often feel genuinely more nervous in a car w someone seemingly irresponsible, than i do in an airplane.
cars: get totalled, everyone inside dies, in worst case. in good cases, you can just crawl out and brush the dust off.
airplanes: explode, everyone inside disintegrates. in good cases however, you can crawl over dead bodies, jump through the flames, and get out alive.
boats: sink. blub blub... survival depends on luck (getting on rafts + not dying of hypothermia while waiting for further resque)
trains: they SEEM heavy and sturdy, but whenever they crash - since they are tracked, you end up with the famous "trainwreck" scenario. everybody fucking dies.
so far, the BUS seems to be the safest way to travel. it doesnt fly around itself off the tracks if it crashes, and usually it destroys whatever poor foe it happens to crash into (most other vehicles are smaller than buses)
the only bus-disasters i can think of are those that for-some-reason drive off cliffs. that seriously has to suck :I
