Every single person posting here got through it. If you're at 35,000 feet it feels terrible to drop 300 feet but you are literally miles away from crashing. Planes are built to fly. It takes more than a little turbulence to cause a real problem, and the pilots have a lot of training and information to avoid the real problems. Keep your seatbelt on as much as possible and know that once you've driven to the airport you're past the most dangerous part of the trip.[/quote]

This is all correct.  One death on a commercial US flight in the last 9 years.  That's with over 2 million people getting on a commercial flight each day.  It's absolutely incredible and we should all be so thankful for the people that design, test, fix and oversee the aviation industry.  It's a great example of how solid government oversight (overall) can be such a force for good.[/quote]
