Fear of flying

This was on the news all day yesterday. It was reported that winds were around 100MPH.

I’m no fan of commercial airlines but if I was on this flight I think that I’d swear off flying. Right after I got some clean underwear.

If it’s any comfort, that was in Germany.

Methinks the wind was way too high for normal safety standards and the pilot was stupid or the plane didn’t have enough fuel to go somewhere else.

ya i heard the foreign voices and was a little relieved, it's only a 45 minute flight, but things can go wrong in 45 min. Can't watch LOST for two weeks now, cause i know how those guys got stuck on that island. We're goin over the mountains and i've seen Alive...i will not hesitate to eat someone-even if rescuers could be there in minutes.

Hey Drifter.
Do you know how far a plane can go when it loses an engine?


All the way to the crash site!

Me thinks it was an Airbus. A Boeing plane wouldn't have any problems!

Don't worry Drifter, you can get "high" in the plane!
