AT SOME POINT, FLYING WILL NO LONGER BE CONSIDERED THE SAFEST FORM OF TRANSPORTATION

Some of us have a fear of flying, so no worries there.

Crashes into buildings.

 

Crashes into rivers.

 

Planes flipping over.

 

Planes experiencing mid-air stalls.

 

And now hundreds dead in India.

 

You won't catch me ever again flying the "friendly skies".

 

All of a sudden, they don't seem so friendly.

Still much safer than driving over to grocery store for a gallon of milk!

All most had another one last week. Airline had to do some quick turns to miss one of those big bombers. 

I have not flown in decades and have absolutely no intention or desire to fly. Giant corporations, including airplane manufacturers, get away with murder these days. Sorry to say that they need more regulations and our government agencies regulating them need to be made stronger, not weaker. Yes, this is a political answer, but it is the solution.

Wonder what's it like to be at 30,000 feet, speed a few hundred mph, and look out the window and part of the wing is falling off? Happened yesterday.
