- NEW!
Help answer this question below.
Yes. In just the way I still go to the toilet despite Elvis dying on one.
Sure it can happen, but the odds are small.
Just don't eat cheeseburgers and take a dump at the same time. Is it bad that that's the lesson I take from this?
Well, we don't know what happened on Flight 447. The plane had been well services, the pilot was experienced; it's a mystery.
What happened won't change my feeling about air flight one may or another.
Yes, you are still statistically safer in an airplane than a car.
If you are going to be afraid of dying so much it changes how you live what's the point?
Seriously, life is full of risk. You can either make fussy, emotional, overly sensitive concessions to fear or you can intelligently assess risk and enjoy life.
Me? I am enjoying life for the most part and rejecting fear.
Yes. That kind of event is so rare that it is not worth changing your life/job/actions over. I would carry on as before.
Yes.
There are thousands of flights every day
Such occurrences happen so rarely it doesnt really matter
No problem. There are approximately quarter of a million people in the air at any moment, and a million people fly every day. Since AF447, probably ten million people have flown safely. I ride a bike in city traffic, which is far more dangerous per mile.
absolutely! statistically, flying is infinitely safer than driving. I have been traveling internationally many times within the last two years, and just returned from two major trips within the last two months. I was involved in a serious auto accident last June, and am lucky to still be here. another miracle is that minor residual effects remain!
Yep.
Not over that stretch of ocean. I wasn't even aware of those weather patters.
Yeah, there are a huge number of flights each day and how often does something like this happen? Statistically, I am comforted by the odds. I don't fly much presently, but this won't cause me to change my frequency of flying (or intended frequency) in the future.
The fact that the media has been reporting on this event for so long despite the fact that no one famous was involved just show how rare an occurrence plane crashes are.
Yes! I love airplanes and have flown as a passenger on planes as diverse as a DeHavilland Twin Otter, Boeing 737(in 1975) and 737-700 "Next-Gen" (in 2004), Airbus A300(in 1991), Boeing 727(in 1979, Eastern Airlines!)
There's a MINISCULE chance of a plane crashing with you on it, you have more of a chance of some drunk or buzzed driver hitting your car in a head-on collision!
Me, for one. Everyone else who isn't really affected by it, for seconds.
Of course I still fly often... Just not on an Airbus!
At what altitude do you need FAA permission?
