but you are more likely to ....blah blah blah!!

Seriously, I am by no means the most well traveled person, but I have flown quite a bit in the past - 6 across the Atlantic and back, ditto the Pacific to Australia, as well as dozens of domestics. The most harrowing experience I ever had was on a small commuter plane that aborted a takeoff from a regional (read "small"!) airport in Texas, and it was frankly no big deal. The Pilots handled it perfectly.

Having said all that, I will admit that the prospect of crashing is certainly terrifying. Imagine what the people onboard Air France 447 went through. Or TWA 800 where the front end of the 747 broke off and fell away so that the entirety of the people in coach were looking at the stars out the front of the fuselage.

Horrifying.

At that point, just grab the best looking person near you and boff like rabbits! Might as well die having an orgasm, is my motto!

I should say that I don't mean to make light of any tragedy, and my heart goes out to the families of the lost. May they all find peace.
