i guess that's not very reassuring at *all* but that's why i'm afraid to fly...

that wasn't far from Ground Zero... I was in DC at the time... and it was very freaky...
after many years of flying and seeing numerous planes crash in my lifetime... it's not like a car accident...
i get anxious when flying now, happened after TWA 800. 9/11 kicked it up many notches, thank you mr. bin laden.
 thank goodness for doctors and meds
