After flying with AA and specifically remembering looking at at flight connection through DC, then feeling fear creep in and calling on Archangel Michael for protection during my flight, and an actual plane crash happening that same day. It was freaking eerie.
I am only now finding out there was a second crash in two days? Wtf?!?
Is anyone else freaked out about flying? How am I even gonna get to my next destination?!? Yikes!
Drive not as safe though!
I have no problem with flying. I've been doing it since I was baby, and severe turbulence is the worst that has happened. I'm comforted knowing that statistics have regularly established that flying is a lot less dangerous than driving.
The odds of dying in a plane crash are even lower; 1:816,545,929, which is 3x as unlikely as winning PowerBall. For the relative convenience of modern air travel, I'm willing to take that chance. Driving for 3 days to reach a destination I could fly to in 3 hours seems like such a poor choice.
But, it's a choice we each must make for ourselves. If you suffer abject terror at the thought of flying, renting a car may be the better option.
