US Airways Plane Crash: Are You Afraid to Fly?
January 16, 2009 Posted in Reality
The images are frightening and send chills down my spine. A simple, routine flight hits a couple birds and ends up in the Hudson?
Shouldn’t planes be able to survive that kind of thing?
Makes you realize why the flight attendants won’t let you listen to your iPod during takeoff or landing. And that maybe having that Emergency Exit is about more than just the added leg room. I know that everyone made it off the plane OK (including babies!), but the whole thing still scares the beejeezus out of me.
I’ve been flying since birth and never once questioned my safety. But now? I’d rather walk then get on a plane. This one hit (no pun intended) too close to home.
What about you? Has yesterday’s crash freaked you to the core?
Tell us what you're thinking...

It didn’t scare me, but I flew 6 times in the span of two months, twice cross-atlantic.

Life is too short to be afraid to fly

Its not the flying part that is scary, its the crashing.

BUT–every single person on this flight survived, and no one was even seriously injured! The pictures are scary but the landing was actually perfect, and the plane floated quite peacefully! It only sank later when everyone was safely off the plane.
