Jebus.

In the space of about 4 days, there have been five aircraft involved in four crashes.

The two training craft in Wales.
The American communter jet.
The 'hard-landing' of the plane at London City.
The helicopter crash in Humberside.

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?

Not to mention all the other incidents in the last few weeks. The 'hard landing' and the nose cone problem was the second in two weeks with the same model. And the Hudson River crash.

I've always believed I would die in a plane crash.

Well, remind me not to go on any long journeys with you then!

Haha - that's what Alex said when we were supposed to fly to Edinburgh.

Well I have been on 7 flights and I passed out and was very ill in one (landing in Florida) and on the way from Edinburgh to london my head was incredibly in pain, so much so that I looked around and was shocked that everyone else seemed relaxed. All that air pressure is awful, so that's enough reason to try and find other means of travel, without other worries.

I never have any problems flying, except for when we landed at Cork and almost went off the end of the runway.
