Not if you're black - then you'll die of flying while black first.

My grandfather and most of his side of the family was on Pan Am Flight 759 that crashed in Kenner. They were going to his brother's funeral in San Diego. This flight was a big reason they put wind shear protection in planes.


I was flying into Baton Rouge on the day that happened. Very sobering.

Took an SIA flight once and as we were approaching takeoff, I noticed one of the engines was literally on fire.

Told the air hostess or whatever you call them these days and she wired up to the captain and they cancelled the flight. I'm certain everyone was pissed at me haha

Apparently you can still fly with that engine failure for a safe landing at a nearby airport if needbe.

But I like to think that I saved everyone's life. You're welcome.

I'm not flying until I don't have to wear a mask. I don't give a shite about crashing.

I had flown about a hundred times and was never nervous until I started flying with my kid. Now when taking off I get some nerves then I’m fine the rest of the flight and landing.

Also doesn’t help that I went down a rabbit hole of hours of flight recordings and re-enactments of crashes on YouTube
