"Every landing is a crash landing". You are crashing back to earth. The secret, is to control the crash, so you do not damage any passengers or the plane. It is the uncontrolled crash that gets you in trouble.
An engine failed on a Qantas flight a few years ago. Passengers could see the damage to the wing caused by the uncontained failure, as well as pieces of the engine breaking away and occasional flames. But the aircraft landed safely and there were no injuries.
This passenger plane had to do an emergency landing after a big "boom" and flames coming out of it.
I think I would have had a heart attack right then and there. I hate flying. I witnessed a small plane crash as a child. Unfortunately, I have to do it for work.
oh my goodness me too! i absolutely hate to fly....i was in jr high in san diego when the psa plane crash happened..a girl from my school lost her mom, my 6th grade teacher lost his son, and my mom and grandma were supposed to be on that flight but got bumped! i hate flying, the smallest amount of turbulence makes me think we are going down!

I got jacked around by TSA a few weeks ago because I had an unopened can of Progresso clam chowder in my suitcase. Flying just sucks.
I had a small bottle of key lime juice in my carry on when flying back from Orlando. The TSA agent picked up the sign that listed all the forbidden carry on items and literally screamed, "DO YOU READ ENGLISH?? CAN YOU READ???"
You can't even file a complaint about TSA agents. No one cares. Flying sucks.

I think I would have yelled back at her "God bless you and I will see you when the trumpet blows " and let her figure that one out . LOL .
Besides witnessing a Cessna crash as a child, I also met a survivor of that famous plane crash decades ago where the people basically jumped out into a cornfield.
I know that flying is safer than driving, but there aren't any fender benders at 30,000 feet. Ugh.
TSA just makes the whole experience that more miserable. Btw, if you do TSA -pre, they let you leave your shoes on, breeze through security, etc. it just costs $85 per year. Are they interested in my safety, or my money? You decide.
