Thats sad, but its just the same as driving, how many people have died in a car accident in the past week?Originally Posted by Moz
I don't like planes either. There's a base just south of town--I can see it from my house. There are planes flying over 24/7. In 1954, a TCA (Trans-Canada Airlines) crashed with a Harvard and landed on my friend's house. 35 or so people died. To make it even worse, last summer I was at the air show here in town and two biplanes crashed and both pilots died.

I'm glad your parents made it home ok.
I used to be a nervous flyer until I started working in the industry I am in--aerospace engineering. I work for a company that makes jet engine parts (and other airplane parts), and I have spent so many months learning how often they are serviced, what the life of a part is, etc that I am now a confident flyer.
The people on the plane make me much more nervous than the plane itself.

Cool! That's 3 of us here that I know of that work in aviation: you, me and Miss Mew.
I too find that the more you know about planes (versus the half truths and lies the media reports) the better you feel about flying.
