Say that to the people who died in the crash. And to the plane victims of 9/11 as well. I'm sure they thought the same when they got on board. That's why I'm terrified of planes in general and the only way I could be made to set foot on a plane is either when I'm already dead or heavily sedated, so that I wouldn't know it happened when the plane falls. Gravity forgives no one, you know? What goes up must go down eventually. Besides, if nature wanted to us to fly, it would have made us with wings.
LOL... So I guess you don't get into a car either, do you? Because more people die per day in car accidents, than died on 911. And if nature wanted us to roll around at 60mph - it would have given us wheels and diesel engines...
