Doesn’t anybody get that feeling on a Plane that they are scared but when they land they are like “what was I scared about, I won’t be scared the next time” and then when you fly again you’re scared again?
Me too - I have found its more about the control and time aspect - and also leaving my normally scheduled programming behind - some is the actual flying - but I know its safer than most anything we do. Just have to keep positive! Also I stopped flying about 20 years ago due to inner ear problems - then 9/11 happened - this coming weekend will be my first time back up - I have 4 short to and from flights - fingers crossed!
Fr, I actually used to enjoy flying until a couple of years ago. No idea why. What sucks is I'd be scared of flying somehwere, then feel great that I landed, but I'll get a sense of doom because I'll have to fly home again.
@@rf9531 Same here. I was always happy when I landed at a destination, then I would be continuously anxious throughout my vacation bcz of the very thought of having to fly back home again. This fear would always ruin my vacation for me.
@@rf9531same! Planning holidays is just horrendous because of the very fact that I have to fly. The whole holiday is reduced to flying and the fear it causes. It sucks.
Jason Green same! what a horrible way to die! but to be honest, the flight channel made me feel better even tho it makes videos about plane crashes, but the more the crashes occur, the more will pilots play attention. so the crashes are less likely to happen.
Jason Green ye I see where your coming from. But you have to understand that your life is in the hands of professionals. Pilots go through years of training to fly. Everything is checked on the aircraft before you even board the plane. It wouldn’t be such a popular way of transportation if it wasn’t safe enough 👍👍👍😊😊😊
What sucks is being kinda afraid of flying but having a love for traveling. So I just deal with it. I know it’s super safe, but there’s something about the mechanical marvel of planes in comparison to cars, where a car is just wheels a plane is super heavy and fighting gravity. For reference, I also have a fear of heights lol. But will not stop traveling
Look at it from the other side: instead of the mechanical marvel, think of the human factor. Planes are flown by extremely talented and heavily trained pilots, while virtually anyone can drive a car... and you share the road with hundreds of these "anyones" every time that you take a ride.
Yes I’m in the same boat lol ( pun intended ) I’m fortunate to be able to go on cruises but I only go on the ones that depart from my home country (UK) and not the ones where you have to take a flight first. It is somewhat limiting but I’m grateful I at least get to travel abroad still. I’ve faced my fear 3 times with EasyJet’s Experience Flights (after not getting on a plane for 17 years!!) and have experienced a little improvement, but still not enough that I feel ready to get on a normal flight . I really hope and intend to overcome this one day. ✈️
@@mwillis1234 Man have you seen some of the pictures of what happens to people in car crashes? At least in 90% of plane crashes you just die instantly. And I mean, car crashes are the leading cause of death for people under 30, with over 37,000 dead last year from car crashes in the US alone... Yeah, no thanks, I'd just as soon bike or take the train to the airport...
The issue is the complete lack of control and understanding I have about what is going on. I may not be in control of a car but I can see and understand everything that is happening in front of me. I can see the road, the traffic, the driver, I can feel and hear what state the car is in etc. On a plane I'm listening for noises I don't understand, in a vessel I don't have any idea about, being driven by a Pilot I can't even see or hear for most the journey, throw 35,000 feet between me and the floor into the equation and you've got one very afraid man right here!
Yes... And I'm forced by my wife and mother in law to get on a plane August 31st and I don't want to go, but they are counting on me to go with them for a purpose post flight... I'm literally scared s#$less about this upcoming flight!
Jdl Jdl - Waiting for the day to arrive is the worst part, I've put it off for 5 years now and I have one coming up soon. Once you're on it you'll be back on terra firma before you know it. Couple of stiff drinks in the airport and go and own the day!
The fear mainly derives from the fact that if ur plane starts going down, Ur chances of survival are extremely slim. Not all car crashes are fatal. Secondly, Its the psychological 'What if' that we constantly think to ourselves. Flying is not a everyday thing so Its easier to link danger with it. Its exactly the same as a roller coaster. People are scared of them because they think about dying, Otherwise it would just be pure enjoyment. Nobody gets in their car and thinks about a car crash.
I love flying, I love the window seats, love watching the plane take off and seeing the houses look like dollhouses, look the chances of something bad happening are very slim, you got a better chance of meeting someone famous on that flight then of a disaster happening. So chill people afraid of flying. Millions of people fly each day and come home alive. So chill.
Same here I love sitting by the window and look outside during take and landing. I wouldn’t say I’m scared of heights but I don’t the feeling when the plane is going through the turbulence.
I think many people are just scared that they don’t have control of their own fate while flying. If it’s going to crash, you can’t really do anything about it
Going on a pretty long flight in two weeks. I've been on a LOT of planes since my family is constantly traveling, but ever since scary turbulence experience I've been a bit nervous about them ever since. This helped me out a bit, I live by a airport so I see planes coming in and out every day. Itll be OK :)
SAME I was on a plane that dropped out of the sky and they were serving drinks at this time. Some woman had to grab the coffee pot on the cart after she was praying we'd all be okay lol.
My issue with flying is just being totally out of control. Once you're up there, there is nothing I can do if anything goes wrong. Its a weird phobia that has only gotten worse with time, the last time I was on a plane which I think was a 14 hour flight I was in tears with fear while taxing on the run way and I spent the whole flight just hoping we got home OK. Such a rubbish feeling!
I cry to when there was some sharp down on left turbulence, so nexts fly I drunk strong sedative but I can feel my hard still beating strongly when it's take off
Imagine having a mid-air fire over the atlantic ocean at night and then the plane breaks into two pieces, and crashes in the ocean from 30.000+ thousand feet . Thats what happened with a Swiss Air flight.....No planes for me too
same, but i think to myself: "the airline i take only has had 1 terrorism attack so far, and its a long time ago, and no one died in it also, what are the odds that i could be in their 2nd terrorism attack?"
The thing is.. im not afraid of flying the concept itself. I am afraid of 1. Myself, what if i freak out? There is no way to temporarily step out of the plane to collect myself cause im so high up. 2. Ive never been in a plane and i am scared of the feeling of going up in the air and descending for landing. Im also scared of the ear pain. Overall, im just scared of myself and the new physical feelings that come with flying edit: and these 2 fears overwhelm me
If you're still unsure, next time you're on a flight have a glance on the flight attendants. If they're still smiling and serving drinks, everything is in order.
I hate when people say, “it’s safer to be in a plane than it is in a car”. Because to us who are fearful of flying, that doesn’t make a difference. In fact, I feel much much safer in a car because I have control. I can turn right or left. I can give it gas, hit the brakes or I can back up. AND I’m grounded. I have four wheels on the ground. While I’m up in the air, I have ZERO CONTROL. I also have to share a bathroom with tons of strangers, sit very close to strangers, and suffer from an anxiety attack due to claustrophobia. The thought of a terrorist attacking the plane, or perhaps the pilot planning to commit suicide and take the plane down with them is enough to make me not want to fly point-blank, PERIOD. Because that has happened. That’s the reality. There are so many different thoughts that go through your head being on a plane opposed to just driving down the street in your car. Again once a plane goes down or even skids off the runway, chances are you’re not going to survive. I have tried everything in the past 40 years of my life to get over this fear and phobia. I just flew again this past weekend and the same fears came to my head. I can’t watch a movie or read a book due to motion sickness. Listening to music doesn’t help because I’m completely distracted by the fact that I am 30,000 feet above the air and hopefully the noises that I hear are not detrimental. and turbulence is a whole other nightmare. Again, some people have claustrophobia and “AEROPHOBIA” and it’s very very, very serious 😢
What if someone in another car decides to run into other people or shoot up peoples cars It happens and you can’t control other people yet you still drive
My wife booked me 8 flights in 1 months, to Asia travel. It scared me to death everytime I on the plane. Specially 1 trip have a servers turbulence while landing it freaked me out I almost scream. Then I find out there 2 trips I can take the train I canceled the flight immediately and buy the train tickets😂. I always told myself no problem I on the safest transportation ever but I still scared.
Planes dont fall from the sky like bricks. They can fly and land with no engines safely! It's a safest form of transportation. I can guarantee, you will take off and land safely, and your fear will probably just go away.
I don't fear the safety of the planes but the skills/competence of the pilots. There's a big shortage of pilots today. I hope airlines dont reduce the standards for pilot.
If all of these are true then why do planes crash at all? If planes want to stay in the air then why do crashes seem to happen daily? I’m terrified of flying and can’t seem to use rational thinking to overcome it.
you’d think that since i’ve been going on flights a couple times each year i’ve been alive, i should be fine with flying. but nope, after each flight i get more and more scared. but it’s mainly fear of turbulence because that’s horrible
I think what scares people the most is the fact that unlike a car accident where you still have a chance of survival, taking a flight is gonna be either everything just fine or everything that PERISHES
You've got a much better chance of survival in a plane crash compared to a car crash, then there is the fact that you are exponentially less likely to get in a plane crash compared to a car crash.
Pilots have safely landed planes with engines not functioning, with landing gears not functioning, windows being opened during the flight, low fuel, and even on water. Car crashes just happen. I think we hate the feeling of not being in touch with the ground. I have a fear of flying but whenever I put it logically, planes are so damn safe. The ones flying, the pilots, are more experienced than the average car driver
Went on a flight with easyjet to amsterdam for a football tournament. I was really nervous but it was the best feeling ever its like a very chill roller coaster with the best view
A car crash usually happens instantly. You don’t even have time to think about dying. In a plane crash, you often have many seconds and sometimes minutes.
Strange tip: if you’re afraid of flying, watch air crash investigation. If you watch enough of them you really get the idea that planes are so incredibly safe. Unfortunately a lot of the time it takes a plane crash to find out what was wrong with the plane/radar/air traffic control/safety checks etc in order to improve all other planes but basically the crashes ultimately lead to safer air travel
Air Crash Investigation is the reason I was willing to get on a plane again after a particular death that made me distrustful of the people in the airline industry. That show is 20+ seasons of people talking about how they take my safety seriously, and thanks to them I flew again a couple of months ago. The episodes can be quite graphic, though, so viewer discretion is recommended.
For me personally a fear of flying is not based on how rare of an event it is. It’s due to how horrific and terrifying that death would be if I happened to hit that bad luck lottery. Crashing a car it all happens so fast it’s over before you really know it. But a terrorist attack where the plane is hijacked or a pilot decides to crash the plane would be so horrendous.
@@Inevitably_Gaming well yes, but you have to sit there for many, many minutes, just waiting for your demise, fully knowing you are gonna die. That’s gotta be awful
Yeah and if you get that bad luck it’s not like you really survive a plane crash which is the worst part, if you do crash on a passeneger jet, you know you’ll die but it’s just so unlikely
@@JeffSmitho-du1ml it’s funny you know how I was talking about this just a month ago and now I’ve been in the massive m56 bus crash. It was absolutely horrific and we flipped over multiple times and I got flung out onto the road, which is lucky because I didn’t get stuck inside the bus.
I love flying love taking off and just seeing your surroundings from the window distort from the speed you are going seeing the view of the city (though it may be far in the distance)before it reaches its peak altitude. Knowing when it lands you’ll be in a far away place with lots of new things to do and see and flying and getting another aerial view is the perfect way to cap off the trip
But what if you never reach your destination because during that magical takeoff where the surroundings are distorting from speed, improperly secured luggage suddenly slides across the plane causing it to tilt to the side before rapidly descending and killing everyone on board? What then?
You know what scares me the most? The maintenance. I am the most scared of people not doing their job properly so the aircraft is damaged or they didn't noticed something that needed repairs. Also because you see a lot on the news how they need to cut the budget. So they're trying to save on fuel etc. I heard pilots refuse to fly at some budget company's because they thought it was too unsafe with the minimal fuel on board. This is what keeps me awake at night. The lack of maintenance on the aircraft. I am flying in August and I am terrified.
This used to be the cause of most crashes in the 70s & 80s, it's actually less likely over the last few decades as regulations are tighter than ever before. Mind you that statistic in this video about the likelihood includes those issues, there are more flights than ever before but less crashes over the last decade or so. Airlines are extremely precautionary, if a takeoff has something not quite right it'll be aborted, planes can stop their roll before their Vmax velocity. The captains and such do checklists, and there's quite a lot of redundancy, planes having multiple electronics systems, backup methods of measuring altitude. Even in some of the crashes I've seen, where pilots were at fault, it was sometimes their 20,000th hour flying without incident.
i LOVE flying ✈️ yes it’s a bit scary especially turbulence because it’s uncomfortable butttttt it’s amazing knowing you are so high up and being able to experience the beauty of flying, something not everyone will experience in their lifetime.
For the people who are scared of an upcoming flight. There is no need to be afraid, for me, the worst part is taking off, it's not as bad as you think it is, it was just me overreacting, I've been on a flight numerous times and I've survived every single one, I'm still here, so if I'm still here, you're all going to be just fine. Once the plane is up in the air, I'm gonna be honest, I didn't wanna come back down, it was so nice enjoying the view of the clouds, and landing was such a fun experience.
I have a terrible fear of flying. I have a business trip in a few weeks and the anxiety is overwhelming to the point where I I'm getting diarrhea and heart palpitations. To make it worse, I have 2 connecting flights on the way home, and one of those flights is on one of those small regional jets. I know the odds are in my favor and the probability of anything bad happening is incredibly slim, but I just can't shake the fear that no matter how "good" the odds are, I AWAYS feel that MY flight will be that fatal one out of millions. I'm so tired of feeling this way. There's so many places I want to see that require flying. I know I can't predict the future and nothing is certain, but I don't wanna die from flying. I just wanna be able to enjoy flying, whether it be domestic or international, knowing that I'm gonna be ok and nothing bad will happen and that it's not my fate to die in a plane crash/explosion/incident/etc. I do wanna sign up for the SOAR courses but I can't afford it at the moment.
As a former flight attendant you shouldn't be scared, I know it's easier said than done but in 20 years career anything serious happened to me. Try relaxing exercises and create a playlist with classical music so you can listen in the plane. You can also try aromatherapy. Don't let fear conquer you! Wish you the best
Thanks, I truly appreciate the reply! My fear of flying is very embarrassing because I feel like a burden, especially to my wife. There's so many places we talk about wanting to visit around the world, but the though of airline travel frightens me. For example, next year she wants to visit Hawaii for her birthday. We haven't even booked the tickets yet and already, just the thought is giving me anxiety. To make it worse, when we arrive to Oahu, I can't even enjoy the vacation because all I'll be thinking about is the return flight home. My wife jokes around with me because I ride motorcycles for a living, which is obviously FAR more dangerous than flying. But whenever I fly, I can't shake the feeling that each flight could potentially be my last. My business trip is 3 weeks away and my anxiety so high right now.
2stroke it’s funny because I’m going through the same thing right now. First time flyer and the nerves are setting in. I fly out May 14th. I have two connecting flights. I’m just at this point hoping I love flying. I get stomachs issues as well and dizziness and PANIC. So I’m HOPING it’s easy. I hope that when I fly out it’s just like a simple boring car ride
@@AskingAlexandr14 hello my friend! Sorry to hear about your flying fear. Trust me it's a terrible feeling. But, I will surely keep you in my prayers for you to have a safe trip! Please let me know when you get there. I fly out on 5/13 and I fly back 5/17: have 2 connecting flights on the 17th. The first of the connecting on the way home is a small regional jet, then 2nd connector is a regular size plane. I'll be happy to write you back when I back safely!
@@AskingAlexandr14 many people have been messaging me the last week that everything will be fine and nothing bad will happen and that I'm gonna make it back safely. So I guess I gotta read between the lines believe in what they say. And I also speak the same for you my friend! Hopefully, we get to enjoy flying one day, like everyone else.
The fact that if a plane crashes is almost sure you’ll die vs the fact that you won’t necessarily die from a car accident is what scares me. So that fact of an accident happening in a plane vs a car is not reassuring.
My dad is a pilot with about 40 thousands hours flown (something like this) and the only “problem he had was that there was a rabbit on runway so they had to stop the plane, call airport servis and they could fly, so yes, flying is very safe
My grandfather has been smoking for 50 years and the only problem he had was some coughing for like 2 weeks, but after that he was perfectly fine as before. So yes, smoking is very safe Sorry, this argument is bullshit, eventhough the message that flying is safe is totally right
@@asdf-zx6sx And the fact that you think the argument is bullshit just tells everyone reading your comment that you don’t have the first clue of how statistics work.
@@s4aviator804 Why dont I have a clue how statistics work? I feel like you didnt understand my comment, which is funny, because even a 10th grader should be able to understand what I mean
@@asdf-zx6sx With all of the aggregate data available, you can (with some very large numbers) calculate the Relative Risk of one hour of flying. You can take that RR paired with the number of hours a person spends on an airplane in their lives, and determine their overall risk factor of being involved in an aviation related incident. Translation? The more hours you spend in an airplane, the more at risk you are. So, someone who spends 40,000 hours of their life flying, or around 850 hours (35 full days) per year of a career in an airplane, is far more at risk than the average traveler. The fact that most pilots spend their entire careers without experiencing a major incident, despite their drastically higher exposure to the risk factor, speaks volumes. That was his argument, which is a totally valid one. Ironically, you could do the exact same thing with your grandfather and his smoking, by determining the RR of serious illness per cigarette smoked. The difference is, the RR is drastically higher, making smoking a significantly riskier proposition. Hence why using an example like that to discredit the OP’s argument is kinda stupid.
@@s4aviator804 Very well explained, thank you! Its about drawing conclusions from an individual case. Without knowing how dangerous flying or smoking really is, you would conclude from both statements that both flying and smoking is safe. Of course flying is super super safe and smoking is the complete opposite. Of course the argument "my dad smoked his whole life" is complete bullshit. But why is it a bad argument in one case, and in another it is a valid argument? The correctness of the argument doesnt change how good of an argument it is, you cant conclude ANYTHING from both statements. You cant conclude that smoking is safe, you cant conclude that flying is safe, without seeing the big picture. Youre saying that I want to "discredit the OP’s argument" with "an example like that". Its the same argument, just another use case. When you say its a stupid argument in my use case, which it clearly is, then its also a stupid argument in OP's use case
I think that's the secret sauce everyone has to admit works: you "hur dur" your way out of caring. Not in a bad way, but it's honestly a choice to put your life in the hands of qualified professionals like you would a doctor or mechanic.
This is my first comment ever in TH-cam. This video helped me a LOT to overcome my anxiety . I’m flying in a couple of days and I was trying to find some videos to calm me down and all I did was getting more stressed. Until I found this one. Thank you so much!
What is wrong with Ryanair? Sure, they are not the most comfortable airline and their customer service isn't the friendliest, but their fleet is actually one of the newest in the world.
You are only saying that because ryanair offers shit service. I fly them all the time. They're cheap, gets me a to b, I survive. And for the love of god get off fortnite
Ryanair have one of the biggest fleets in the world and have never had a fatal incident. They were actually awarded the safest airline in the world in 2018. Do your research kid. And stop playing fortnite 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I had a panic attack for an entire flight after I took a plane for the first time in 8 years. Since then, I have flown 19 times. Every single time I've felt so much better and now I get excited about it. I still have to clench my stomach during take off though ;)
Im also scared of flying but i do it every year cause i want to see other countries... but im still scared every flight and flying to portugal in 4 hours
My take from these comments is that everyone who is afraid of flying would probably make a hell of a good captain in the cockpit. Those who blindly trust statistics and have their sense of danger/fear removed, I would not want anywhere near the cockpit. To sum it up, if you are suffering from fear of flight, that probably means you're a pilot at heart. Bless you.
I can’t lie man, this video helped my fear so much! I actually fly 3 to 4 times a year for vacation, and the only thing that was getting me through my fear was my love for my wife. I literally just got back from New York yesterday and it felt like the longest 4 hours of my life 😂 thank you so much!
I think for some its a fear of being trapped and you can't say "go down now please". You're stuck there as long as the flight is intended. The feeling of being trapped is what botheres some people, like myself. But medication can help with that ;)
Honestly, I don’t do plane rides. I rode it twice 2 decades ago, but years later, I prefer being on the ground. That’s why I’m afraid of heights and refuse to go on a plane again.
Love how I just clicked this to put my mind at ease for my upcoming trip and all I'm reading is people terrified of dying from a plane crash. Instead of being calmed, it makes me think that maybe the fear is valid. So this had the opposite effect. Especially the comment about how the pilot is separate and you don't hear him and I too don't understand the mechanics of why this many tonned metal thing can subvert gravity, I will now be also listening for sounds I don't understand. Fear increased
Yep. This video is a bit silly. In the same way, most people that are scared of spiders aren't afraid of being bitten. Here in the UK spiders are completely harmless, but arachnophobia is extremely common. Fear doesn't work like that.
@stephanieellison7834 As a Christian--Anglican or Episcopalian as known in the States ,we do not believe in such a hell you describe but I know of several Roman Catholics who are deathly afraid of going to a Dante's Inferno hell if they even miss one church mass on Sundays.
I have a flight coming up soon. From Orange County CA to Houston TX. I do have a fear of flying so wish me luck! Edit: So overall the trip wasn’t bad at all. 4 hours of painless, stress-free cruising from one destination to another. Pilot did a great job and attendants were very friendly. If flying an airplane was like this everytime then it would actually be fun and not scary. One helpful hint is if you’re on a long plane trip is too just think positive and find ways to make the x hours go by fast. You know watch movies or do crosswords or something along those lines.
I was on a plane when I was 3 and was perfectly fine but I’m now 11 and terrified because of how fast take off is and being in air and hearing about crashes scares the life out of me also I was so scared the second time I cry the whole way I’m that scared but this kinda helped me ty :3
I'm not worried as much about a plane crash, as I am (for some reason) terrified of the height. I'm going on a plane soon for the first time since I was a baby, and I'm scared (and excited) for takeoff. I watched a 360' veiw vr video of a plane takeoff to help, but now I'm just even more scared! Edit: This video really helped, thank you!
I was once TERRIFIED of flying, but now i'm 15 with a dream of being a pilot :D I been out in simulaters, cockpit full flights and I can already see when i'm watching this video that it's explained so good, and will help so many people! Thanks!
I’m 15 too but I’m still terrified of flying and i have a flight in 9/11 💀 im not joking lol, the date makes it scarier… ive been watching so many of these plane crash videos and its just so interesting to watch even tho its scary
I'm going on a plane in 7 days, and I'm terrified of flying. I have been on multiple flights before, but as I got older, saw some cruel videos etc. I've created a fear from flying, such a shame, but this video really helped me, hope the 2+ hour trip is going to be alright - but my parents are talking about a dentist pill for me, to take the nerves off me, I feel like it's a drug.
Yeah, something similar has happened to me. When i was a kid, teen or young adult, i love flying. Now that i`m in my 50's i really hate to fly. Probably its because now is very stressfull all the safety posts we have to go throught and waiting for hours in the gate before boarding. I remember flying was fun back in the day. Your friends and family members could walk you almost to the plane door. People could smoke, and drinks were free. Now is stresfull, expensive, with a lot of "safety" rules etc. And of course, watching all TV shi...tty programs about plane crashes and inefficient control tower staff.
Thank you for this video. I have am flying today and am terrified of heights, and the added fear of flying wasn't helping. I now feel a little better thanks to this video.
Thanks for the help! I’m flying to Michigan tomorrow and I’m really scared of planes, but now... knowing it’s INSANELY rare, it makes me feel better a little bit 😌
I was on a flight from singapore back to europe and all of the sudden I had that weird feeling of "man it's crazy we're so high above the ground right now, it'd be real bad if the plane crashed" and then the plane got hit by pretty bad turbolence and I was scared as shit for a second.
Is it just me but i’m like really scared when i. on the plane but i’m even more scared when i’m like walking out side or in my house and i hear a plane going over me😭 i get so much anxiety when a plane goes over me😭😭😭

What sucks is being kinda afraid of flying but having a love for traveling. So I just deal with it. I know it’s super safe, but there’s something about the mechanical marvel of planes in comparison to cars, where a car is just wheels a plane is super heavy and fighting gravity.
For reference, I also have a fear of heights lol. But will not stop traveling
You hit the nail on the head. This is me
Look at it from the other side: instead of the mechanical marvel, think of the human factor. Planes are flown by extremely talented and heavily trained pilots, while virtually anyone can drive a car... and you share the road with hundreds of these "anyones" every time that you take a ride.
Yes I’m in the same boat lol ( pun intended )
I’m fortunate to be able to go on cruises but I only go on the ones that depart from my home country (UK) and not the ones where you have to take a flight first. It is somewhat limiting but I’m grateful I at least get to travel abroad still.
I’ve faced my fear 3 times with EasyJet’s Experience Flights (after not getting on a plane for 17 years!!) and have experienced a little improvement, but still not enough that I feel ready to get on a normal flight . I really hope and intend to overcome this one day. ✈️

The issue is the complete lack of control and understanding I have about what is going on. I may not be in control of a car but I can see and understand everything that is happening in front of me. I can see the road, the traffic, the driver, I can feel and hear what state the car is in etc.
On a plane I'm listening for noises I don't understand, in a vessel I don't have any idea about, being driven by a Pilot I can't even see or hear for most the journey, throw 35,000 feet between me and the floor into the equation and you've got one very afraid man right here!

Jdl Jdl - Waiting for the day to arrive is the worst part, I've put it off for 5 years now and I have one coming up soon. Once you're on it you'll be back on terra firma before you know it. Couple of stiff drinks in the airport and go and own the day!
Ben Mackay - Does mommy know you're on the PC past bedtime?
The fear mainly derives from the fact that if ur plane starts going down, Ur chances of survival are extremely slim. Not all car crashes are fatal. Secondly, Its the psychological 'What if' that we constantly think to ourselves. Flying is not a everyday thing so Its easier to link danger with it. Its exactly the same as a roller coaster. People are scared of them because they think about dying, Otherwise it would just be pure enjoyment. Nobody gets in their car and thinks about a car crash.
I love flying, I love the window seats, love watching the plane take off and seeing the houses look like dollhouses, look the chances of something bad happening are very slim, you got a better chance of meeting someone famous on that flight then of a disaster happening. So chill people afraid of flying. Millions of people fly each day and come home alive. So chill.
Same here I love sitting by the window and look outside during take and landing. I wouldn’t say I’m scared of heights but I don’t the feeling when the plane is going through the turbulence.
I think many people are just scared that they don’t have control of their own fate while flying. If it’s going to crash, you can’t really do anything about it
SqueamishOrange well I just learned about 9/11 and my place takes off at 9 at night so it’s gonna be dark 😖
And also you have like 10-15 seconds before you crash so you’re just waiting to die, that’s the worst for me
Unless your tom Cruise !!
Yes, i know. Even worse if the plan gets hijackt, then nobody can do enyfing not even the crew🤮
Just not get on it at all💔

For some reason I’m worried on takeoff but right after I hit the clouds (I’m guessing that’s around 10,000 feet) my anxiety disappears
yeah, because the takeoff is at a fast speed, but once you get up above the clouds, everything is calm
Same!
Going on a pretty long flight in two weeks. I've been on a LOT of planes since my family is constantly traveling, but ever since scary turbulence experience I've been a bit nervous about them ever since. This helped me out a bit, I live by a airport so I see planes coming in and out every day. Itll be OK :)

My issue with flying is just being totally out of control. Once you're up there, there is nothing I can do if anything goes wrong. Its a weird phobia that has only gotten worse with time, the last time I was on a plane which I think was a 14 hour flight I was in tears with fear while taxing on the run way and I spent the whole flight just hoping we got home OK. Such a rubbish feeling!
Yeah me too 😭 like I wish I had a pilot’s license so I could fly myself lol
14 hours seems like an eternity to feel like at any second you might die
I cry to when there was some sharp down on left turbulence, so nexts fly I drunk strong sedative but I can feel my hard still beating strongly when it's take off

The thing is.. im not afraid of flying the concept itself. I am afraid of 1. Myself, what if i freak out? There is no way to temporarily step out of the plane to collect myself cause im so high up. 2. Ive never been in a plane and i am scared of the feeling of going up in the air and descending for landing. Im also scared of the ear pain. Overall, im just scared of myself and the new physical feelings that come with flying edit: and these 2 fears overwhelm me

I hate when people say, “it’s safer to be in a plane than it is in a car”. Because to us who are fearful of flying, that doesn’t make a difference. In fact, I feel much much safer in a car because I have control. I can turn right or left. I can give it gas, hit the brakes or I can back up. AND I’m grounded. I have four wheels on the ground. While I’m up in the air, I have ZERO CONTROL. I also have to share a bathroom with tons of strangers, sit very close to strangers, and suffer from an anxiety attack due to claustrophobia. The thought of a terrorist attacking the plane, or perhaps the pilot planning to commit suicide and take the plane down with them is enough to make me not want to fly point-blank, PERIOD. Because that has happened. That’s the reality. There are so many different thoughts that go through your head being on a plane opposed to just driving down the street in your car. Again once a plane goes down or even skids off the runway, chances are you’re not going to survive. I have tried everything in the past 40 years of my life to get over this fear and phobia. I just flew again this past weekend and the same fears came to my head. I can’t watch a movie or read a book due to motion sickness. Listening to music doesn’t help because I’m completely distracted by the fact that I am 30,000 feet above the air and hopefully the noises that I hear are not detrimental. and turbulence is a whole other nightmare. Again, some people have claustrophobia and “AEROPHOBIA” and it’s very very, very serious 😢
What if someone in another car decides to run into other people or shoot up peoples cars
It happens and you can’t control other people yet you still drive
I agree! It’s horrific just thinking about the what ifs. I love traveling but still can’t get use to being airborne with zero control.🙏🏼
I agree with you. I only ride plane unless I have no other option.
My wife booked me 8 flights in 1 months, to Asia travel. It scared me to death everytime I on the plane. Specially 1 trip have a servers turbulence while landing it freaked me out I almost scream. Then I find out there 2 trips I can take the train I canceled the flight immediately and buy the train tickets😂. I always told myself no problem I on the safest transportation ever but I still scared.

People have survived plane crashes
@@LillyTVLPS people have survived atomic bombs too. Thx for the reminder
You've got a much better chance of survival in a plane crash compared to a car crash, then there is the fact that you are exponentially less likely to get in a plane crash compared to a car crash.
Pilots have safely landed planes with engines not functioning, with landing gears not functioning, windows being opened during the flight, low fuel, and even on water. Car crashes just happen. I think we hate the feeling of not being in touch with the ground. I have a fear of flying but whenever I put it logically, planes are so damn safe. The ones flying, the pilots, are more experienced than the average car driver
actually the vast majority of plane clashes aren’t fatal
Went on a flight with easyjet to amsterdam for a football tournament. I was really nervous but it was the best feeling ever its like a very chill roller coaster with the best view
A car crash usually happens instantly. You don’t even have time to think about dying. In a plane crash, you often have many seconds and sometimes minutes.
Strange tip: if you’re afraid of flying, watch air crash investigation. If you watch enough of them you really get the idea that planes are so incredibly safe. Unfortunately a lot of the time it takes a plane crash to find out what was wrong with the plane/radar/air traffic control/safety checks etc in order to improve all other planes but basically the crashes ultimately lead to safer air travel
Great advice! Thanks for sharing
Air Crash Investigation is the reason I was willing to get on a plane again after a particular death that made me distrustful of the people in the airline industry. That show is 20+ seasons of people talking about how they take my safety seriously, and thanks to them I flew again a couple of months ago. The episodes can be quite graphic, though, so viewer discretion is recommended.
Well the Max 8 Boeing 737 's crashes in recent times is a good example of me not wishing to be a guinea pig when flying new airplanes.
For me personally a fear of flying is not based on how rare of an event it is. It’s due to how horrific and terrifying that death would be if I happened to hit that bad luck lottery. Crashing a car it all happens so fast it’s over before you really know it. But a terrorist attack where the plane is hijacked or a pilot decides to crash the plane would be so horrendous.
Actually with the speed of the airplane you’d probably be killed in an instant
@@Inevitably_Gaming well yes, but you have to sit there for many, many minutes, just waiting for your demise, fully knowing you are gonna die. That’s gotta be awful
@@Inevitably_Gaming what part of the comment you responded to you did not understand?

@@JeffSmitho-du1ml it’s funny you know how I was talking about this just a month ago and now I’ve been in the massive m56 bus crash. It was absolutely horrific and we flipped over multiple times and I got flung out onto the road, which is lucky because I didn’t get stuck inside the bus.
I love flying love taking off and just seeing your surroundings from the window distort from the speed you are going seeing the view of the city (though it may be far in the distance)before it reaches its peak altitude. Knowing when it lands you’ll be in a far away place with lots of new things to do and see and flying and getting another aerial view is the perfect way to cap off the trip
But what if you never reach your destination because during that magical takeoff where the surroundings are distorting from speed, improperly secured luggage suddenly slides across the plane causing it to tilt to the side before rapidly descending and killing everyone on board? What then?

You know what scares me the most? The maintenance. I am the most scared of people not doing their job properly so the aircraft is damaged or they didn't noticed something that needed repairs. Also because you see a lot on the news how they need to cut the budget. So they're trying to save on fuel etc. I heard pilots refuse to fly at some budget company's because they thought it was too unsafe with the minimal fuel on board. This is what keeps me awake at night. The lack of maintenance on the aircraft. I am flying in August and I am terrified.
I’m a major airline snob partly for this reason. I won’t touch budget airlines, especially the really notorious ones.
This used to be the cause of most crashes in the 70s & 80s, it's actually less likely over the last few decades as regulations are tighter than ever before. Mind you that statistic in this video about the likelihood includes those issues, there are more flights than ever before but less crashes over the last decade or so. Airlines are extremely precautionary, if a takeoff has something not quite right it'll be aborted, planes can stop their roll before their Vmax velocity. The captains and such do checklists, and there's quite a lot of redundancy, planes having multiple electronics systems, backup methods of measuring altitude. Even in some of the crashes I've seen, where pilots were at fault, it was sometimes their 20,000th hour flying without incident.
i LOVE flying ✈️ yes it’s a bit scary especially turbulence because it’s uncomfortable butttttt it’s amazing knowing you are so high up and being able to experience the beauty of flying, something not everyone will experience in their lifetime.
For the people who are scared of an upcoming flight.
There is no need to be afraid, for me, the worst part is taking off, it's not as bad as you think it is, it was just me overreacting, I've been on a flight numerous times and I've survived every single one, I'm still here, so if I'm still here, you're all going to be just fine. Once the plane is up in the air, I'm gonna be honest, I didn't wanna come back down, it was so nice enjoying the view of the clouds, and landing was such a fun experience.
Sorry take my chances on the bus
I have a terrible fear of flying. I have a business trip in a few weeks and the anxiety is overwhelming to the point where I I'm getting diarrhea and heart palpitations. To make it worse, I have 2 connecting flights on the way home, and one of those flights is on one of those small regional jets. I know the odds are in my favor and the probability of anything bad happening is incredibly slim, but I just can't shake the fear that no matter how "good" the odds are, I AWAYS feel that MY flight will be that fatal one out of millions. I'm so tired of feeling this way. There's so many places I want to see that require flying. I know I can't predict the future and nothing is certain, but I don't wanna die from flying. I just wanna be able to enjoy flying, whether it be domestic or international, knowing that I'm gonna be ok and nothing bad will happen and that it's not my fate to die in a plane crash/explosion/incident/etc. I do wanna sign up for the SOAR courses but I can't afford it at the moment.
As a former flight attendant you shouldn't be scared, I know it's easier said than done but in 20 years career anything serious happened to me. Try relaxing exercises and create a playlist with classical music so you can listen in the plane. You can also try aromatherapy. Don't let fear conquer you! Wish you the best
Thanks, I truly appreciate the reply! My fear of flying is very embarrassing because I feel like a burden, especially to my wife. There's so many places we talk about wanting to visit around the world, but the though of airline travel frightens me. For example, next year she wants to visit Hawaii for her birthday. We haven't even booked the tickets yet and already, just the thought is giving me anxiety. To make it worse, when we arrive to Oahu, I can't even enjoy the vacation because all I'll be thinking about is the return flight home. My wife jokes around with me because I ride motorcycles for a living, which is obviously FAR more dangerous than flying. But whenever I fly, I can't shake the feeling that each flight could potentially be my last. My business trip is 3 weeks away and my anxiety so high right now.

Watching these vids on loop because I had a really bad experience on a plane a couple months ago
My dad is a pilot with about 40 thousands hours flown (something like this) and the only “problem he had was that there was a rabbit on runway so they had to stop the plane, call airport servis and they could fly, so yes, flying is very safe
My grandfather has been smoking for 50 years and the only problem he had was some coughing for like 2 weeks, but after that he was perfectly fine as before. So yes, smoking is very safe
Sorry, this argument is bullshit, eventhough the message that flying is safe is totally right
@@asdf-zx6sx And the fact that you think the argument is bullshit just tells everyone reading your comment that you don’t have the first clue of how statistics work.
@@s4aviator804 Why dont I have a clue how statistics work? I feel like you didnt understand my comment, which is funny, because even a 10th grader should be able to understand what I mean
@@asdf-zx6sx With all of the aggregate data available, you can (with some very large numbers) calculate the Relative Risk of one hour of flying. You can take that RR paired with the number of hours a person spends on an airplane in their lives, and determine their overall risk factor of being involved in an aviation related incident. Translation? The more hours you spend in an airplane, the more at risk you are. So, someone who spends 40,000 hours of their life flying, or around 850 hours (35 full days) per year of a career in an airplane, is far more at risk than the average traveler. The fact that most pilots spend their entire careers without experiencing a major incident, despite their drastically higher exposure to the risk factor, speaks volumes. That was his argument, which is a totally valid one.
Ironically, you could do the exact same thing with your grandfather and his smoking, by determining the RR of serious illness per cigarette smoked. The difference is, the RR is drastically higher, making smoking a significantly riskier proposition. Hence why using an example like that to discredit the OP’s argument is kinda stupid.
@@s4aviator804 Very well explained, thank you!
Its about drawing conclusions from an individual case. Without knowing how dangerous flying or smoking really is, you would conclude from both statements that both flying and smoking is safe. Of course flying is super super safe and smoking is the complete opposite. Of course the argument "my dad smoked his whole life" is complete bullshit. But why is it a bad argument in one case, and in another it is a valid argument? The correctness of the argument doesnt change how good of an argument it is, you cant conclude ANYTHING from both statements. You cant conclude that smoking is safe, you cant conclude that flying is safe, without seeing the big picture.
Youre saying that I want to "discredit the OP’s argument" with "an example like that". Its the same argument, just another use case. When you say its a stupid argument in my use case, which it clearly is, then its also a stupid argument in OP's use case

My take from these comments is that everyone who is afraid of flying would probably make a hell of a good captain in the cockpit.
Those who blindly trust statistics and have their sense of danger/fear removed, I would not want anywhere near the cockpit.

Especially the comment about how the pilot is separate and you don't hear him and I too don't understand the mechanics of why this many tonned metal thing can subvert gravity, I will now be also listening for sounds I don't understand. Fear increased
i keep getting plane crash documentary videos in my recommended and now i get this. honestly that just makes me more scared now.
me: * isn’t afraid of flying*
me: *sees this video*
me again: eh why not
I’m just getting proof for my friend that’s scared of flying.
I'm not scared of the plane crashing, the feeling of flight just makes me uncomfortable and triggers my anxiety for some reason.
Yep. This video is a bit silly. In the same way, most people that are scared of spiders aren't afraid of being bitten. Here in the UK spiders are completely harmless, but arachnophobia is extremely common. Fear doesn't work like that.
@Stephanie Ellison lolol whatever you need to tell yourself 😅
Basically
@stephanieellison7834 As a Christian--Anglican or Episcopalian as known in the States ,we do not believe in such a hell you describe but I know of several Roman Catholics who are deathly afraid of going to a Dante's Inferno hell if they even miss one church mass on Sundays.
Im about to go on the Airport and you calmed me down, but im still a bit afraid of the turbulence
I have a flight coming up soon. From Orange County CA to Houston TX. I do have a fear of flying so wish me luck!
Edit: So overall the trip wasn’t bad at all. 4 hours of painless, stress-free cruising from one destination to another. Pilot did a great job and attendants were very friendly. If flying an airplane was like this everytime then it would actually be fun and not scary.
One helpful hint is if you’re on a long plane trip is too just think positive and find ways to make the x hours go by fast. You know watch movies or do crosswords or something along those lines.
Thanks for the advice! I have a flight in 9/11. Going to france lol i mean its only 4 hours but still feels like eternity
I actually have a flight soon and I was terrified but somehow this video appeared in my recommendations it was really helpful
If you have a fear of flying, just drink a beer or 2. I call it beer of flying.
👀
LosAngeles.323 good joke but reality is different… if you’re drunk you can just be kicked out of tha plane
@@stepanzatloukal3381 I didn't say get drunk. Just a drink or 2. Unless you can get drunk off 2 drinks lol
LosAngeles.323 lol, true, or drink in middle of atlantic ocean so you can stay in the airplane, lol
Stepan Zatloukal I was gonna say, what are they gonna do when your 30,000 feet above the Atlantic and your wasted? Lmfao
I was on a plane when I was 3 and was perfectly fine but I’m now 11 and terrified because of how fast take off is and being in air and hearing about crashes scares the life out of me also I was so scared the second time I cry the whole way I’m that scared but this kinda helped me ty :3
Thank u very much for this video... I was just here sitting and crying that I won’t make it to my destination and that I don’t wanna die :) :(
Me rn getting ready for my flight ina couple days :/
I'm not worried as much about a plane crash, as I am (for some reason) terrified of the height. I'm going on a plane soon for the first time since I was a baby, and I'm scared (and excited) for takeoff. I watched a 360' veiw vr video of a plane takeoff to help, but now I'm just even more scared!
Edit: This video really helped, thank you!
This just made me afraid of the other things I could die from lmao
That weird feeling when plane is either climbing or reducing altitude is someting that drives me nuts and wants me to get of the seat.
So flying is safer than driving, swimming, or even just walking out in the rain? Now I’m scared of everything except flying, thanks.
Thank u because im going on a 2 hour flight tomorrow and not so scared
Im going to LA from Heathrow airport and it is 11 hours
I was afraid of planes until I went on one, now I love flying, it was a 9 hour flight on one plane and another 10 hours on another.
I always brief my passengers regarding dead stick landings right off the bat to ease their anxiety. This video will be my go to from now on haha
I used to love flying, but after having a bad flight one time landing into Hong Kong I’ve been terrified ever since, mainly turbulence and take off 😭
“Logan you are my hero.”
I was once TERRIFIED of flying, but now i'm 15 with a dream of being a pilot :D I been out in simulaters, cockpit full flights and I can already see when i'm watching this video that it's explained so good, and will help so many people! Thanks!
sameee
i hope you’re in aviation school by now bro
I’m 15 too but I’m still terrified of flying and i have a flight in 9/11 💀 im not joking lol, the date makes it scarier… ive been watching so many of these plane crash videos and its just so interesting to watch even tho its scary
Did you continue to persue your dream?
Sadly not yet, finished highschool last year, so now working my ass of to earn the money 😅
Wow I had not a clue about these facts! Thanks so much, very helpful!
I’m going on my 3rd plane tmrw to Florida I’m so excited I’ve never been to Florida before
Well I am terrified, I knew 19 guys who died on 9/11 why shouldn’t I be worried?
I’m traveling for the first time in 1 week, and I was really scared but this video actually really helped me. Thanks
Did you make it out ok, I have my first ever flight this month I’m scared
Hope you had fun!!
@@willychavez22 how did it go
4 years ago? Hello was it ok?
I'm going on a plane in 7 days, and I'm terrified of flying. I have been on multiple flights before, but as I got older, saw some cruel videos etc. I've created a fear from flying, such a shame, but this video really helped me, hope the 2+ hour trip is going to be alright - but my parents are talking about a dentist pill for me, to take the nerves off me, I feel like it's a drug.
How did that go? 🤣🤣
Yeah, something similar has happened to me. When i was a kid, teen or young adult, i love flying. Now that i`m in my 50's i really hate to fly. Probably its because now is very stressfull all the safety posts we have to go throught and waiting for hours in the gate before boarding. I remember flying was fun back in the day. Your friends and family members could walk you almost to the plane door. People could smoke, and drinks were free. Now is stresfull, expensive, with a lot of "safety" rules etc. And of course, watching all TV shi...tty programs about plane crashes and inefficient control tower staff.
Before I get on the plane=panic attacks
After getting on the plane (during flight)="I'm so booooorreeeedddd"
Getting off the plane="I LOVE flying"
Thank you for this video. I have am flying today and am terrified of heights, and the added fear of flying wasn't helping. I now feel a little better thanks to this video.
Who is watching this on the flight day?? 😂
Thanks for the help! I’m flying to Michigan tomorrow and I’m really scared of planes, but now... knowing it’s INSANELY rare, it makes me feel better a little bit 😌
I was on a flight from singapore back to europe and all of the sudden I had that weird feeling of "man it's crazy we're so high above the ground right now, it'd be real bad if the plane crashed" and then the plane got hit by pretty bad turbolence and I was scared as shit for a second.
Is it just me but i’m like really scared when i. on the plane but i’m even more scared when i’m like walking out side or in my house and i hear a plane going over me😭 i get so much anxiety when a plane goes over me😭😭😭
I feel better thanks man
Btw I’m in the airport gonna fly for 6 hours
👇🏻
Good luck!
Flying rap thanks man

Justin Roblox Gamer yo u still alive?

So that means we forget about precautions?
Why don't you jump off airlane and say God knows?🙄
@@Shzy. stop being a smarta**, they're just saying only god knows in/when we're gonna crash
48 years without ever getting on a plane, this is inspiring. I'm still scared. I don't trust people I don't know.
