Scared of flying, so if I did have to take a flight, I wouldn't watch anything that involved plane crashes.

:D
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 :D
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 :laugh:

awwww :D 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
-
I tend to stay away from it the night before a flight, tbh.
-
I know there's a chance I could get killed in any vehicle, and I mostly drive one of the most dangerous. A scooter.
I'm not so much scared of dying in a plane crash. I'm more scared of the minutes when I know the plane will crash, and I'm likely going to die, and just having to st there and wait for death, possibly painfull death.
At least in my bike or car, the crash will be sudden.
Ferries very rarely seem to sink in the first world. Most of the time I hear of a boat sinking, it's either one in a poorer country, or some kind of little mini-boat, like the ones they use for parties.
I'm not sue if there's been a ferry sink in Britain in my lifetime, although there was a huge one in I think the 80s
-
There was a ferry disaster in the 90's, when the Swedish ferry Estonia sank.

estonia and the scandinavian star, both sank, and both made for quite horrific losses, altho estonia wins there if i remember correctly.
it reminds me of these overloaded ferries in the third world...
hell, everything's overloaded over there. a car crash in india, and you got like 30 injured and 14 dead

Why not I remember watching one of the Airport movies the night before back when I still flew. I don't fly now because of all the people and security, I would go up in a private plane any day

its problematic to you?
im usually fine w airports, even big crowded chaotic ones. i just... disconnect somehow. in fact i am quite effective in airports

Any crowded places set me into a panic these days let alone being trapped in a metal cylinder with a bunch of people. The older I get the less tolerant I am of people in general. As for it being a problem I don't go many places I would need to. Last year I drove 5000 miles round trip to a wedding in Vegas this year to Florida 2500 round trip. I prefer it that way

if i had a license and a car, then i would totally aggree with you. solitude over crowded chaos anytime.
but i still cope 100 times better in an airport than a shopping mall, for example. in the airport im much more in my own "zone"
-
Yes. I would much rather drive than fly, although I think I would probably use a train for very long journeys. We don't really have the opportunity to drive these great distances that the Americans and Europeans do. Even driving from the top of Scotland to the bottom of England can probably be done in the day.
-
I prefer to watch the movie "Airplane" everytime before I fly somewhere. :M
I'm serious and quit calling me Shirley. :P
-
I don't watch much tv and so haven't seen much of those air crash shows. Have seen airport security shows though. At airports I always get called aside for the more thorough search of my bag and they run that hand-held scanner over me. I find airports easier to deal with than shops because at shops the way people move around is more chaotic.
I am not afraid of going on planes. Have experienced severe turbulence once and I found it hilarious while other people were screaming heh. It isn't an option to take other forms of transport from Western Australia to other states as to get there by car, for example, would take more than a few days.

that would make me giggle.. :D
a friend of mine during the military was on a smaller plane, which was in such extreme turbulence, it came down sideways towards the airfield, and had to pull back up again, and attempt a new landing.
he was extremely shaken even after arriving at the base
and i haaaad to i haaaad to ask for details
"did you clutch the seat w your fingers!? DID YOU!"
"... yes"
":'D DID YOU SCREAM!?"
"............. yes."
"REALLY!? LIKE.. aiiiieeeee!!!??"
".......................... yes. happy?"
"YES!!!"

I had a similar experience landing in Rhine-Main airbase in Germany. We landed on an alternative runway with a 20 knot tailwind. We hit the runway so hard that the overhead bins poped open ans shit fell on top of people, and some ceiling pannels came off too. There were a couple of minor injuries. :yikes:

im scared shitless when on planes... i dont know what it is. i really dont know what about planes scare me they just DO! but turbulance has no effect on it. raising and dropping in hight like takeoff and landing just causes heart attacks for me [not literally]

awwwwww
next time, try to think about this
whenever the plane takes a little "drop" (they may sometimes fly into "pockets" of thin air, and drop a little, totally normal) the testicle fluid move around (similar to when on a swing-set) and makes peoples balls tickle
me and my brother laughed so much at that, that thought. the plane made a slight drop, we felt the balltickle, and quickly looked around at everyone else around us. men in suits, drinking their coffee, trying to appear as if their balls werent tickling :D
-
^I never knew this! :D

a ferrie up on the north coast of british columbia canada sank a while back... it was majorly underloaded as it was not tourist season, roughly one staff member to every 2 people. only two people died but they have yet to find the bodys or figure out how... maybe they jumped ship or something weve no clue.

Me too, but it's an acquired skill. I tend to have more problems when stuck at something like Frankfurt or Heathrow. The gates are just too crowded, especially at Frankfurt.
-
Turbulence I've come to terms with. Still hate it but recently I've travelled enough to ignore it if it's not too severe.

very possible. compared to most people i know, ive flown a lot of times, with an average of once a back and forth to spain, often including various landings in europe, usually denmark, germany and/or france.
and yes, if the gates are way too crowded, my autism tends to kick in, and i get aggitated
turbulence i feel similarily also. if its a normal humpy-bumpy-ness i know what its about, and its fine. if it gets REALLY rocky, i find myself wishing it would calm the hell down :D
i still hate when the wing wobbles
but ive been told by a pilot that the wing is flexible enough to touch the floor (when grounded of course..)
and all logic says the wing _must_ wobble, or it would snap off

I don't watch much tv but have to admit air crash investigation is interesting.
The last flight i ever had was Luton-Gibraltar and it was just before 9/11. I have not flown since. Too chicken shit. Never ever will again.
So i guess i am just stranded here on this desolate island. I suppose i could sail, and i am from sea-fearing naval folk :M
-
I haven't flown anywhere in years and might never do again in my life. Definitely won't be any time soon
Customs and security and all that shit
No thanks

i think its "sea-faring" unless they are afraid of the sea?

Flying doesn't bother me no matter what I watch. I am leaving for San Diego tomorrow, it will be the 4th round trip flight in 13 months. I have no idea how many flights I have taken in the last 34 years.

again, not _afraid_ but a bit on-edge i guess on the open ocean. its that teeny little voice inside my head telling me theres no way out, if things should go wrong. also, similar to with airtravel, out on the open ocean, your "high up", as in, terra firma is way way down there, and its unnatural

I love the sea.

There used to be a show called "Seconds From Disaster." It retraced the fatal
sequences of errors preceding major disasters on land, at sea, and yes, in the air too.
Turns out many people are stupider than I am. :fp:
-
It's been a while since I last watched any of the air disaster shows, but I sometimes play through some of the numerous crash footage compilations on Youtube. Gives me something to think about when boarding yet another plane. :zoinks:

Once, when I was nine, I felt carsick and started thinking about a disgusting sandwich I'd eaten previously!
Peanut butter and banana. Too chewy. The memory made me feel even sicker. Then I threw up! :happypuke:

Just that cover image alone is terrifying. If I were in the little van, I'd have died of fright. :zombiefuck:

Did you look at the clip? How the guy holding the camera stayed on the road is beyond me.

I will look at it now. I found the cover image too frightening, and I don't usually scare that easily. :hide:
