US Airways Plane Crash: Are You Afraid to Fly?

picture-2.jpgThe 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?
