No I wouldn't Joy...

I still feel flying is still one of the safest modes of transport.

I love flying. And it has changed so much over the years.

One time we flew to Dublin (c 1963) and I could see tiny, little fishing boats in the Irish Sea. On the way back, they couldn't close the door properly. There was a ring of light all the way round it!!! That didn't stop them!!! When they flew over the Irish Sea there were BIG fishing boats!!!!

Still the safest way to travel.
I have travelled 60,000 miles by air over the years [40 ],and never had any bother.
In the same time frame and less miles ,i have been involved in six accidents [none my fault] i think those statistics speak for themselves.

My niece is a long haul air hostess for british airways.She has been in a couple of scares.If all cabin crew said after a scare like friday would never fly again,no-one would fly again as there would be no-one to fly the aircraft.Do we say we are never going on a coach ride again after a coach crash.I think we are still very safe in the sky.I have to say this as i am going to Australia this year with my niece.

Its the safest form of transport, try hitting the ground or any other hard surface in anything other than a plane at the speed the 777 hit the grass at Heathrow and you wouldn't walk away..Col

You could get so paranoid that you would never leave the house. what sort of life would hat be?
