Great show....developed a phobia of flying as a result of watching it.
True story.
shareha! I find it ok because you get to see the new saftey that is taken after crashes...
Working on my first fanfic...
Ive never had a phobia for flying but was never exactly comfortable with it, either. After getting addicted to this series I can report that I am slightly more comfortable flying, but most notably, I can imagine possibly learning to be a pilot some day, which I never, ever would have considered before this series.
shareDon't worry about flying you are more likely to die in a car crash than in a plane crash. Also i want to become a pilot but it's so expensive just to get into flying i don't think i will.
sharei got a bit of a phobia at first too, but the safety improvements made me feel better and also some help with what to do if it crashes
it also made me want to be a pilot! but what with the expense.. wont happen
You're not alone. I feel the same way. I used to love flying, but this series has scared the bejeesus out of me. I think the re-enactments make it all seem so real, and not just historical info on some channel. I think the ones that affected me most was the Japan JAL flight 123, and the Little Rock Arkansas one, American Airlines flight 1420 that skidded off the run-way in the storm and then eventually erupted into flames. The latter, I saw a family/victims memorial website with REALLY indepth personal accounts, and you feel like you were actually there, in the moment. Its scares me. But I also feel better when I think of the increased safety features and improved training and flight path manuals.

I feel the same way as well. I feel better knowing after most of these accidents flying has become safer, but at the same time I'm slightly more afraid when I do fly. And I think it's mainly from seeing the reenactments, when I'm on a plane and we take off I remember seeing the reenactments of the episodes where something goes wrong just after taking off, and how real it seemed...I never really thought about it before watching the series. Still a great series, though.
