Airplanes

[Joeiss]

Flying kind of gives me the creeps... I haven't been on one in like 4 or 5 years though...

[Typhoid]

Ive never even been on a plane, or to an airport ever... Just the fact that a car is way safer. Think about it, if you are driveing in a car, and you run out of gas, what do you do? You pull to the side of the road.

If you are in a plane and you run out of gas, what do you do? You panic and scream and yell while you plummit to the ground at speeds that are unimaginable to pull out of, though giving yourself the hope that you will survive somehow. But no you will crash and die, the the story will be on CNN saying about this freak plane accident and how it only happens one oout of every 2,000 plane flights. But how many planes fly in a week? way more than 2,000.

Thats what i think of everytime i think of the fact that im going to England in the summer...

Silly Typhoid.

You have a MUCH higher chance of dying in a car accident than in a plane accident. MUCH MUCH HIGHER CHANCE.

With a car you can't control how the millions of other people drive on the road. There isn't that much traffic in the air.

SILLY!

I like planes. It's cool flying.

I second Jeepnut's comment regarding comfort though. Last June, I flew from California to New Zealand and I was very uncomforatble and tired by the end of trip. It was 12 hours or something. In the future though, planes will be much more comfortable and larger too maybe.

Soon, I'll be able to experience flying! I can't wait till I have my lesson, and I'll make sure to tell you all about it.

Jeepnut always told me you were filthy rich. I never believed it but I guess it's true little Ms. First Class Flyer. Want to pay for my ticket and I'll escort you around the world.

You can escort me anywhere you want. But I am by no means filthy rich. Unfortunately, I have never had the opportunity to g first class.

According to this website of the National Safety council, the statistics for the year 2001 in the United States show:

One out of every 247 people will die in a car accident in their lifetime. This does not include pick-up trucks, vans, or other forms of ground transport besides cars.

One out of every 4,023 people will die in an air transport accident in their lifetime. This includes all forms of air transport including spacecraft.

In 2001, 14,946 people died in car accidents alone. Keep in mind this does not include pick-up trucks and vans as well as tractor trailers, etc.

On the other hand, only 918 people died in Air and Space Tansport accidents in 2001 in the United States.
