There\u2019s a lot of things I hope I never have to do. Writing this post has made me think about all of them and now that I\u2019m depressed as hell I guess I\u2019ll announce the winner. It\u2019s something I think about every time I get on an airplane which is: I hope to god this thing doesn\u2019t crash. <\/p>\n
You see, I have a fear of flying. It\u2019s not bad enough to prevent me from going places but it is bad enough to get me to the airport at least two hours before a flight so I have time to get tanked in the bar before boarding the plane. The thought of getting in a plane crash scares the crap out of me. But the weird thing is that I\u2019m not afraid of dying in a plane crash. Dying I can handle. If my Catholic upbringing taught me anything it\u2019s the fact that there is an afterlife and whatever that means exactly it sure is hell better than life on earth. So no, dying in a plane crash is not my big fear. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s surviving a plane crash I\u2019m afraid of. It\u2019s the one thing I hope I never have to do. All those people who Captain Sully saved by landing that airplane in the Hudson River? I\u2019d hate to be one of them! Sorry Captain Sully but it\u2019s true. Being on a plane that is about to go down has got to be the most frightening things in the world and living with the memory of that fear is something I\u2019d have a problem with. <\/p>\n
To counteract my fear of getting in a plane crash I always remind myself that the chances of such a that happening are slim. And the chances of even surviving one is even more slim. Which does make me question my fear. Not because it\u2019s irrational but because maybe surviving a plane crash wouldn\u2019t be so bad after all? I mean the chances of it ever happening again would be nil right? Nah! I sill hope it\u2019s something I never have to do. But sitting next to a plane crash survivor on my next flight sure does sound like a good idea! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
