Ive already commented but after reading some of the newer comments I just have to say in Sandra’s defense like I said before, If you haven’t been in a midair crisis like I have you really can’t say. Yes I know statisticaly flying is safer but when you are thousands of feet in the air being told the plane may have to go in for a crash landing and you’re about to ish on yourself like I was, then talk to me. Give me a car any day. Bcuz like I said, at least in a car my chances of me not knowing ahead of time are much slimmer. And I don’t care if I’m in a plane or a car, I’m not going anywhere before my time anyway.But when that time comes, I wanna be oblivious! Unless I’m like 90 something and ready to go…….lol

thanks Hun3, you’re more likely to die from a car crash than a plane crash, it’s still one of the safest modes of transportation. Sandra you sound like ans azz backwards country bumpkin

As someone that flys on a regular basis (just flew yesterday)…it is really not that bad!! it is actually more dangerous to drive a car as miztee stated..your odds of dying in a car accident are far greater than a plane crash, especially in Atlanta with all them nondriving folks down there!!

I always think about the person that missed their flight and how they feel?

I heard about the movie, unfortunately I never saw it. But I was caught up in that mess. I didn’t even know it was a blackout. I was on my way to dinner at one of my brother’s house and when I finally made it after being hemmed up in what is called “the traffic circle”, that I found out we were in a blackout and my sister in law was going bananas. All I could remember her saying (in her THICK New York accent) was “I told ya’ brotha’ we needed a boat.” This happened on a Wed or Thurs. I was on the plane on Sunday. The line for bag check was OUTSIDE of LaGaurdia and down the damn street. My brother threw me and my daughter at curbside and pulled the f*ck off. I was like damn I don’t even get a goodbye hug. Then that plane mess happened and I was like all hell to the naw!

But for the record. I LOVE TO FLY! Don’t put me in a car to go to another state. I literally get sick for days!

This is sad. I am 41 and have never been on a plane nor do I want to. One of the passangers on the plane texted his wife that something was wrong with the plane. She told him to get off the plane. He said “they won’t let me”.
