Before Buffalo, and of course the small string of events that have followed, we were talking about how we had just passed a milestone of no fatalities in years in the US. Flying was already getting safer and safer, and it still is!

But at the time, we were saying, "Oh, no, we are due! Something is going to happen!" And I would walk outside at my apartment along the lake in Chicago and watch hundreds of planes come in to land at O'Hare each day and think, "Quit using up all the safe flights!" haha

My point is that our fear has nothing to do with reality. Just as we can use these incidents to justify it, we can also use NO incidents and safety records to justify it. So why bother?

Or, we can use SOAR and each other to keep flying and make it through the fear. Personally that path has worked wonders for me. You can do this too, FearfulInNY! ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (MeghansNerves) http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/sreply/7139 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:31:49 PST http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/reply/7138/t/All-the-recent-scary-news.html#reply-7138
The Hudson River landing? That is the only situation I know of where birds have incapacitated a plane. So thought it happened this year, it is the only time. We, hopefully, will go for many years before that happens again, or the engines are improved so it can't happen.

Buffalo was a situation which the government has allowed to develop. The regional airlines pay poorly, overwork pilots, cut costs everywhere, etc., etc. This administration is going to change that. Blown tires? No big deal. Yemenia? I never heard of the airline before. Did you? I don't fly on airlines I've never heard of, and my guess is you wouldn't either. So I think it is not related to the flying you will... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Capt Tom Bunn MSW LCSW) http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/sreply/7138 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 08:54:32 PST http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/topic/2025/t/All-the-recent-scary-news.html ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (FearfulInNY) http://fearofflyingmessageboard.com/topic/2025 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 18:27:34 PST
