AT SOME POINT, FLYING WILL NO LONGER BE CONSIDERED THE SAFEST FORM OF TRANSPORTATION

[nctarheel]

With over 176 souls lost in 55 plane crashes in the United States in 2025.

Crashes into buildings.

Crashes into rivers.

Planes flipping over.

Planes experiencing mid-air stalls.

And now hundreds dead in India.

You won't catch me ever again flying the "friendly skies".

All of a sudden, they don't seem so friendly.

Still much safer than driving over to grocery store for a gallon of milk!

Some of us have a fear of flying, so no worries there.

Sorry for your fear of flying, @Jason2020LovesKelly . I didn't experience that fear until the recent plethora of accidents, head on collisions, sleeping pilots, air traffic controllers that cover three times the area they are supposed to cover, and antiquated airports.

Years back when they lost that plane over the Indian Ocean and a few months later that co-pilot flew a plane into a mountain, I said never again.

I saw the video of this one, when it was supposed to get the "up up and away" power it just came back down like it was coming in for a landing.
