Can someone help explain to me why my fear’s irrational? People in other countries fly more than Americans, why?
I’m terrified of flying

Being in a plane in the first world isnt anything to be afraid of. Its safer than even walking per mile.
But what is it that makes you afraid of it in particular OP?
Alexander Perry
Your fear is not irrational. Flying is a risk.

Now that you mention it, sitting in a pressurized tube moving at hundreds of miles per hour, tens-of-thousands of feet above the ground is an unusual situation for an ape to find itself in.
Nathan Campbell
Exactly. We weren’t made to travel at very high altitudes.
Thomas Kelly
I dont know man I love flying and the whole concept of it. Im literally infatuated with the idea of flight. I mean im not the only one.

Yeah like the German wings pilot intentionally crashing the plane. I’m trusting some strangers to safely transport me at 36k feet in the sky. There was an idiot pilot who let his children fly a commercial plane and they crashed.
Ian Martin
flying is very safe, if you understand physics, the wings are completely enveloped and held in the air, the only problem would be if there is a technical or human problem, but otherwise the plane is completely safe and stable in the air

Australia holds the record for the safest airliner service (Qantas). I will only ever take a Qantas flight.

>human problem
This is what causes every massive accident ever.

>at 36k feet in the sky
Now we are on the final approach, less than 200 ft above the ground, and one small mistake and we are dead. Don't fly!

Nothing personall kiddo
That being said yeah Qantas safe, just they just dont have that good of a product.
Bentley Campbell
I feel safer when the plane is on final approach
Leo Sanchez
pussy ass bitch
Justin Thomas
I don’t know if you thought I was joking when I said it was the safest in the world
Camden Cook

No need to worry, user. Planes are very safe. :^)

You’re also trusting strangers when you ride on a train or drive a car. Or, when strangers handle your food

I used to fly a lot as a kid and loved flying, I even enjoyed turbulence, it was like a roller coaster and the more intense it was the more I liked it. Then I got older and had 2 really rough flights in a row and became terrified of flying. I've flown quite a bit since then but I usually get valium from the Doctor. I reassure myself that it's worth the flight because I get to travel and if I die well at least its tragic circumstances and people will morn my death.

Do Canadians really?

There's nothing to worry about, pilots know what they're doing.

Nothing is better than walking into that place where they have the drinks and asking if there's any booze left near the end of a long haul. By that time the staff are necking them too.
Eli Gray
>tfw drank the plane out of gin flying back from Japan
What a great time that was. Best $50 fight ever.
Ryan Williams
final approach and take off is actually when something like 80% of all fatal accidents occur
Adam Clark
I don't. It's the only time I begin to shit bricks, especially with some of the bumpy landings I've been in. Especiall one when the plane circled the runway for like 45 minutes waiting for it to clear and then the pilot dives for it so steep like he needed to take a massive shit.
Luis Fisher
have a nice flight

I don't even travel by car. I walk everywhere. And I mean everywhere. I've walked from my home here in Östergötland into Norway and way around there then back. Little over 2 months on foot.
Will walk to the far north one day, see Treriksröset and Lapland then walk home again through Norway. Probably gonna take around 300-320 hours just to get up there, then twice that back home at a slow pace.
As soon as corona is actually under control.
Anyway, I digress. user, you are afraid of flying because it's not natural for humans. Walking is.
You can overcome fears and get used to strange things though if you really want to.
