Millions of people around the world board an airplane every single day. I'm often one of them. I've flown on multiple airlines an average of probably

40, 50 days a year for over two decades now. I have just over 1.8 million miles flown just on Delta and

Luckily, I have only died in one plane crash

Obviously kidding. I have not been lucky though to never have been in a crash all my flights have made it safely back onto the ground

Which is statistically exactly what is supposed to happen what almost always happens

And I've almost always made it to my intended destination almost all flights do make it to their destinations

Perhaps later than expected or maybe without some of the baggage, but they do make it there in one piece nearly every time

Person recent 2023 stats coming out of India for every 16.7 million flights only one will experience a fatal crash

That is pretty damn safe far safe for the being in a car

According to a US aviation site your odds of dying in an aviation accident are one and eleven million

Your odds of dying in the car crash one in five thousand

Flying is so much safer than driving

But for many of us it just doesn't feel that way does it?

So why is that?

Well for those of us who are not flying the plane is because the flight is not an hour control

Someone else is controlling our fate

And many of us meet sacks. We really don't like that

Especially in a situation when if we're not a pilot even if they were to give control to us

We still wouldn't have a clue how to safely land the plane

Hoping that whoever does know how to land it will do so and understanding that we are cockadoodle doomed if they don't

That seems to be the scariest part of flying for many of us

Right another scary part is knowing that if a significant mechanical malfunction occurs
