I used to be afraid of dying on a plane. But my aviophobia has now transfered to a few of shitting myself on a plane with my barfing kid thanks to the post from a few weeks ago.

65 MPH in a small metal box with random strangers zipping by at 80?

How do people embark on such a journey with their precious babies?

I just finished up a FEMA Community Emergency Response training course, and we were trained on so many different things, including terrorism and cyber security, of all things. Not to mention natural disasters. The instructor said, BY FAR, the most dangerous thing we do is get in a car each day.

OP, even if it feels counterintuitive, flying is much safer for you and your babies.

Because you can't drive to Europe.

Because it would take five days to drive to San Francisco.

Do you not leave your house? Honest question. Driving or being a pedestrian is statistically more dangerous than flying.

It’s one of the safest — and fastest — modes of transportation. Either OP is a troll or a paranoid delusional.
