You can congratulate yourself that you're not a famous celebrity like Tom Snyder, who panicked during some turbulence and started screaming at the top of his lungs, "We're doomed! We're going down! We're all going to die!" Was that really 10 years ago ? ? ?
Turbulence used to freak me out too, but eventually I got used to it and can actually sleep through it.
It's interesting, the probability of dying on a per hour basis is the same for planes as it is for cars. So although it is safer on average to travel by plane than by car for any given trip (planes cover more ground per hour), there's no reason to feel any safer during the time your in a plane than the time you're in a car.
