Author Topic: Malaysian Airlines aircraft reportedly shot down over Ukraine.  (Read 12108 times)

You have a better chance of dying in a car accident than dying in a plane crash. You're even more likely to die scuba diving than in a car accident, so I think you're fine.
Likelihood of accidents is one thing. Likelihood of surviving an accident is another thing. I have an acute fear of flying.

Statistics have no bearing on fear-based decisions and I hate that people don't recognize that.
It's very rational if you DONT WANT TO DIE HIGH ABOVE THE GROUND.

especially since i have both a fear of heights and a fear of airplanes
regardless, fear is a very rational human response.

but no fear of boats
i like boats
except when they sink
but its pretty easy and probably really fun to escape a sinking ship

i have a fear of riding bikes because i might crash and that is very scarey

im scared of airplanes but I realuse it's kinda irrational

This is why I don't fly in airplanes. Completely unsafe in the event of a SAM attack.
oh my god lmao
planes are like the safest things ever

I'm afraid of walking because I could trip and impale myself on a metal pole.

OT:

This really sucks.

Air travel is probably safer than walking down a sidewalk in a big city

not to mention that the event of a SAM attack is unlikely, and basing a fear off of that is as stupid as I've ever seen

Huh, I knew it would turn up eventually

Not the same plane.

Likelihood of accidents is one thing. Likelihood of surviving an accident is another thing. I have an acute fear of flying.

The likelihood of survival is taken into account. Keyword 'dying.'

If you live in the US I can practically guarantee you will not be shot down by a ground-to-air missile in a passenger plane in your life ever.
