no but if you really think about it, i'm sure it would be less painful to die than getting hit by a car flying through the air sliding along the asphalt and having all your skin scraped off.

I started flying when I was 6, so the only thing that bothers me about it are the rude people who shove their seats all the way back in your lap
![]() I am terrified of heights now but only certain heights. I can drive along a high cliff and there is no problem. It is when I have to walk up to an edge with the possibility of falling that I get all scared. This dates from when I tried skydiving at the end of college. I never used to have a fear of heights and now I do. |

I used to love flying. Now I'm terrified. I have close to 100,000 frequent flier miles from my last job, and I'm afraid to use them, why? Because of 9/11. Yup, scared me shitless. I was supposed to be on one of those planes. My trip got cancelled three days before. So yeah, I'm afraid to fly now. I have flown once since 9/11 and only because I had to for work and I drank the entire way out there...(I flew first class with some of those FF miles, heh).

If you have never flown you must have missed out of some killer good vacations!
Do it! Take a coupla Valium and snooze most of the way to someplace Way More Interesting than "no where, dude. " "You must do the thing which you think you cannot do. " - Roosevelt (empowerment is a great way to evolve into a better person. And good luck.

I don't have a fear of flying just a fear of airport employees. I always get hassled because I have thick black hair and a goatee. Racial profiling at its best I guess.

I never thought much about the safety factor when flying. Car wrecks are every single day frequent, plane disasters of any sort are not. I didn't hear about it so it never came ot mind. I was terrified of learning to drive though. So many boobs out tooling around in their personal space occupier in a less than safe fashion. The actual flying part, not your luggage, but the flying is organized far better than driving and for that reason alone I would not be concerned flying.
