Well….I guess you should stay away from flying then, if that’s how you feel.
I respect those who don’t like it. I don’t try to push it on anyone who is against it. Especially those with a true phobia.

In defense of flight, however. I will state that for every aircraft crash that seems to steer people away from it. There are a few thousand automobile crashes that for some reason or another, have little effect on steering people away from driving. Something I never really could understand.

i.e. Some automobile trips end violently as well.
