Even though it's really rare that accident are happening. I've been on so many flights where the turbolens have been so bad that half of the people who was on the plane throw up, been sitting next to a dead person to... and old ladies who piss themself. But after all it's really nice, just sitting down having free drinks/beers, food, just tell em what you want and you basically get it. And sometimes there will be accident but with around 100 000 flights a day and you only read a few times a year that a plane disappear and or get driven into some towers, it's really safe. Most of the people are afraid of flying because they can't do anything to control the suitsuation when they're in the air. you basically put your life in someones hands.
