Why are so many people afraid to fly?
In the US the people who refuse to fly post 911. Are they that cowardly? I am getting sick of hearing about airlines going out of buisness. Are you afraid to fly because of 911? Know of anyone who is? I would like to know, I don't know of any, but obviously there is alot of people who are.

Well, the media is a big part of why pple in the US are affraid after 911. Basically, when you constantly are fed images of planes crashing into buildings, and hear reports of shoe bombers and idiots trying to get on planes with chainsaws and pipe-bombs, it starts to affect some people.
Then others like myself simply hate to fly because falling 30,000 feet to my death gives me way too much time to think about what a shithead I've been. ![]()

I was watching a special on Boeing the other day and they have started testing the new 777 they cut production time in half which is pretty amazing.
Maybe we can get a little more leg room now ![]() |

I have always hated flying. I hate airports. The lines, security, etc. I hate squeezing onto the plane with a bunch of idiots that drag all thier shit on and jam the aisles trying to stuff it in the overhead bins. And I really hate the way those same stupid fuckers leap up and jam the fucking aisles the second the plane comes to a stop. I have flown only once since 9-11 and I hate it even more now. One way ticket purchased less than 5 days in advance so I was singled out as a security risk and searched and hassled every five fucking feet. If it wasn't for Valium or Xanax I could never do it. The airlines have always made it an uncomfortable ordeal and now the new security is making it intolerable.

Next to being an adult webmaster, i am an airline pilot (freelance) and actually as a pilot i haven't seen any drop in pax since 911. As before all the flights i do are over 90% full. Alot of airliners where in trouble prior to 911.... alot of them are also taking 911 as an excuse to fire people to get out of trouble.... the presure on the management of airliners isn't as big as before 911, now they have a reason to fire them. Anyway.... nobody should be afraid of flying, the media makes people scared to take an aricraft latelly. All those talks about making it secure by giving the pilots a gun license and let them carry one and making heavy gunproof cockpit doors is also alot of BS.... they should look at security BEFORE the aircraft (airport), thighten things up there. It's pretty pointless to do all that stuff aboard the aircraft..... and in my opinion a gun is the most dangerous thing on an aircraft, even in hands of the guys flying it. A bullit hole in the fuselage can result in decompression, dive, even the fuselage falling appart if it is at high altittude and cruising at 350 knots. But the one thing i know is this: any terror group won't target airliners anymore.... i would be more affraid to stand at the busstation waiting for the bus then to get into my office at 35.000 feet
![]() Don't believe it guys, airliners aren't doing any different in passangers then before 911, they just play it out as an excuse... still the same pax and same money getting lost in the airline industry.... exept for one thing... now they can blame it on something else then bad management. |

![]() Having said that I like flying and do so fairly often - the only part I hate is the hours of security checks and then being cramped up on longhaul flights (4 damn flights each way to the last internext was not fun!) - even in biz class it sucks! As for that site its quite reassuring to read about a recent plane crash somewhere coz it lowers the chances of a crash on the next plane I get on.. ![]() Probably DVT is a bigger danger than crashes, at least on long haul flights.. ![]() |

I HATE flying, not because of the 9/11 thing. But it scares me because I have no control over what's going on.
I mean when a plane goes down, nothing you can do, and you are 99.999% dead for sure... I have no idea why I have that feeling,because I know a higher % dies in a car, but that is just the way I feel it ![]() Andre

Americans refuse to be treated like criminals because of a handful of muslim terrorists. As long as the airlines and the government treat 65yr old grandmothers the same way they treat towel heads, the airlines will continue to have problems.

Ive been in planes that the engine came apart on, hydraulic failures, blown tires, severe turbulance, failed electrical systems....etc etc......but Im still alive ![]() Plus you know if you really think about it, dieing in a crash is a pretty good way to go...you wont feel shit and your family is gonna get a payday. Besides that, the truth is that people walk away from 75% of plane accidents, but of course the news only focuses on the ones doing the death dive from 30,000 ft on fire. |

per number of flights, aren't there more airplane crashes then deaths per number of drivers for cars? doesn't look like planes are more safe than automobiles.

of all the systems in an aircraft (about 2 million per heavy jet) only 2 need to work in order to keep it flying, engines and flight controls and those are backed up and backed up again... The chanse of those two failing is practicly 0. And nose down in some situations IS a standard procedure, as strange as it may sound :-) |
