Looks bad, apparently not so much: http://news.sky.com/story/1011141/cc...il-plane-crash

Actually the pilot got seriously injured, but the two passengers are okay.

Most aviation accidents occur during takeoff, which is why I am pretty much holding my breath during the first 10 minutes of any flight, and then I feel relaxed after that.

I remember watching a doc about a plane landing on a short runway under poor conditions in brazil, skidding off the run way and crashing into a gas station which exploded. Killing everyone obv and gas station employees.

So yea... id say these guys ginned out.

Also, take offs are the only fun part of flying, I feel bad you get so nervous during them druff. I mean if your plane crashes it's basically game over so whats to worry about?

Pro tip: drop benadryls after you board the plane and get everything adjusted, you'll be lights out by the time you get to cruising altitudes.

I get a nice buzz before I get on the plane and continue to drink until the plane has landed. Always seems to work.

I think everyone has done this atleast once but I don't really get nervous flying at all, I just like to pass the time quicker by sleeping.

Do you hold your breath every minute you're in a car? Being in a car is significantly more dangerous.

I fly a lot, and I'm a big fan of being unconscious as much as possible. Diphenhydramine (Benadryl/Tylenol PM) works great.

After much experimentation, I would have to go with wine. Calm turns to happy and turns to sleepy.

Which turns to headache.

Could always do a Drexel and drop Ambien and booze. Somehow that just makes him not sleep but talk for 12 hours straight though.

Why does somebody always have to say something ridiculously stupid like this when fear of flying is brought up. It's not a rational fear & the people who are afraid of flying don't try to present it as a rational fear. They know it's not based on rational thought just like the fear of enclosed spaces or arachnophobia, etc.
