my mother died in a plane crash when I was 9.since then I have had a phobia of air travel.I feel air travel is not that safe.But i have to go abroad so I have to travel by air.It's pretty ironic. Give me your views on air travel.Maybe seeing them I can reverse my views and travel more comfortably.

airplane - taking air travel is the fastest means to reach ones destination
Any means of transport be it land, sea and air are technically safe. What happened to your mother was an accident so dont be afraid to travel by air. Give yourself a try.

When your time is up ,you will die no matter how you struggle ... if you time isn't up , you might jump down from 11 floor but still alive but handicap .... Just want tell you Aeroplane is Safe enough but there always some unlucky ones yea .....

statistics say that air travel is the safest way of traveling... more safe than train, ship, or car... the sense of unsafety is caused by the fact that an air accident is more impressive than a car accident...

I'm sorry to hear what happed to your mother.. well, I believe God have set when when we will day. Everything has it own risk. Even whe we eat there's a risk to choke. I think it's safe to travel by plane. I personally take the plane just to save my time :)
