Afraid of Flying ?
Yes I am , Some month back i was traveling from Karachi to Islamabad (2 hours flight) and faced below extreme weather.
It was dark and it was raining and i was like :( :( :D :D
If you discuss about statistics, Flying through Airoplane is one of the safest way of travel. Normally we see daily car accidents and many people die in them but we do not consider them and it is part of daily life. More people die in car accidents then in plane crash but the thing is that car accidents only gets nation wide coverage but when there is Air crash, whole world media outlets gives them so much coverage, we think it happen all the time.
Plane crashed are very rare and usually involve human error. It is also important to note that most air accidents are not death related and all of them are not life risking. One more Major point to note that Commercial airlines can fly with only 1 engine in case of 1 fail engine and even land without any issues in case of both engine fails but it also depend on how high plane is flying and how much far is the nearest airport. Safe to say that it can fly for long time for safe landings :)
Most people are afraid of Turbulence but in actual Turbulence is not dangerous, Pilots do tell people in advance that we are heading towards Turbulence because they don't want us to spilling our coffees / teas on us. Pilots try their best to avoid Turbulence because they love smooth flying.
My personal experience to reduce them is to book your seat in center of plane. Those seats are the most comfortable ones and give less shakes/vibrations then if you are sitting on tail side of plane.
Stay Happy and Safe Travels :) Do give me Up-vote if you like my Post :)
Thank you
When flying remember Luke 4:11 'He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee'.
