Why are so many people scared of flying?!?!!?

Nothing to be scared about.

the fact that you can plummet some thirty thousand feet in a fire of death and distruction is the thought on many peoples minds, so many things can go wrong. what like? i hear you ask anxiously..

well simple things like a bird flying into the engine causing all human life on board to die in a crash, it's happened and it's not uncommon.

you are always naturaly weary on your first flight, i was, don't worry.

a very perfect example of what happens during a birdstrike at take off. professionalism and well-trained pilots are what prevent such disaster.

by the way... i've never known of any birds that fly at 30,000 feet..

erm no not really the plane can still fly with one engine.

granted it would descend at a higher descent rate per minute than standard descents, due to the nature of the situation, the gravitational force when it descends would give it enough speed to maintain a normal approach, even with one engine. engines on a heavy jet (such as boeings, airbuses) have to be certified to be able to keep the plane airborne. a typical landing speed for a big-ish jet would be about 140 knots (V2+10 for those who know ). one engine can maintain 160 knots

i know what im talking about haha. sorry if none of that made sense. im watching the football game.

The fact that you can but very rarely - It's exactly the same as crossing a road imo, you could be crushed by a bus and then be trapped in a fire of death - I just don't understand how one can be scared of flying.

A bird strike is hardly anything - Nothing to worry about, nor is a engine faliure - Even a double engine faliure wouldn't be a major disaster because aircraft can and have landed after several hundred miles with no power at all. It is uncommon - The only reason plane crashes are on the news is because the amount of people that die in them, now I agree there are 1 or 2 a month - But how many car crashes are there a day? How many people die on the worlds roads everyday? - I rest my case.

uhmmmm yeah, it is, lol. there are thousands and thousands of flights every day in the united states alone, its actually quite remarkable the very little amount of plane crashes there are. you are far more likely to die in a car crash on your way to the airport than you are in a plane crash.

I just don't understand how one can be scared of flying.

The reason that I'm scared of flying is because if something does happen, then there's nothing you can do. You're thousands of feet in the air, and there'd be no rescue.

Although I do know that it's rare that something would go wrong, and even if something did go wrong, the pilot might still be able to land the plane, it's still a scary thought (for me).

i've never been on an aeroplane, or abroad for that matter.
my mum is convinced it's unsafe, lol. she's such a pessimist.
