    Yeah I agree, despite all the recent events, I’m still not worried at all about flying. The number of car crash complications I watch on YouTube make me extra cautious while driving, but I’ve never felt in danger while flying, even in heavy turbulence

      Flying to Jamaica a long while ago the plane hit a downdraft and dropped hundreds of feet. Service cart hit the ceiling and people were tossed about. Luckily we had our seatbelts on. The pilots regained control fairly quickly, but everyone on that plane thought we were going to die.

      When we finally arrived nearly everyone kissed the tarmac. I certainly did. I still have no real fear of flying.
