Aw don't be.. Plane crashes are rare. You're safer in the sky than you are in a car!
Dunno what age you are but if I was really scared I'd definitely have a few large wines before flying
Which part scares you?

Only BBC News is ignoring this (must be due to Cut backs)

Are you scared too Drew? I love flying.. The whole concept kind of thrills and amazes me.
I could even just watch planes take off and land all day

flying terrifies me, even waiting to board and watching them take off and land gives me the chills, i think its one of the safest transports but that doesn't change anything for me

[Scarlett.]

Holy **** :o

I do know how you feel.. My sister is **** scared and I feel awful for her; I've had to hold her hand whilst she's been sobbing during a bit of turbulence before.

My friend actually tried hypnosis which helped her.. She could only fly if they let her into the cockpit to speak to the pilots but obviously that was stopped after 9/11. I don't think the hypnosis cured her but it did help.

you'd think after flying once/twice a year for 15 years id be ok now, its terrible :laugh: luckily enough iv never expienced bad turbulence before though, once im in the air i'm not too bad as long as iv got my ipod to listen to for the whole duration of the flight.. there is a strange sense of security seeing the pilot or hearing him making announcements though, its odd.

[Glenn.]

It seems no one is badly injured so that's good. Must of been terrifying for those on the plane :shocked:

Haha.. It annoys me as it wakes me up!

There are something like 50,000 planes take off every day worldwide, and if you compare that to the number if crashes there are, I reckon it's a fairly safe way to travel :)

Relax and try to enjoy it

Oh dear that's awful. :(

[Kizzy]

Wow! well done to the pilot... It could have been a lot worse :(

[Lee.]

Wow! well done to the pilot... It could have been a lot worse :(

Yeah exactly! ..and the cabin crew... I'm assuming the emergency evacuation happened very quickly before the fire really took hold.

[Smithy]

I don't get how Asiana airways is the right way up while the plane is upside down

[Lee.]

It's not upside down :conf:

[GypsyGoth]

I'm just watching a news article about it now :(

Sounds like the staff did an amazing job keeping the majority of the passengers safe.

[Lee.]

I'm surprised at that photo of the passengers leaving the plane.. They seem to have brought luggage etc with them? If I was in an emergency situation like that I'd be first down the chute without giving my bag a second thought!

[Drew.]

60 people unaccounted for, bit worrying..

[Marsh.]

Yeah, just **** yourself if he makes the announcements in person. :laugh:

I don't trust machines to fly solo.

[Ammi]

There were 307 on board, including 16 crew. Officials said 123 escaped without injury and 181 were hospitalized or treated for injuries. Among the injured, 49 are in serious condition and five at San Francisco General Hospital remain critical. Among the 47 others at San Francisco General, several were treated for minor injuries, including fractures and abrasions, and were released Saturday night.

"It was all over in 10 seconds," says Vedpa Singh, who suffered a fractured collarbone. "We heard a big bang, and it was over."

You'd better hope Dave doesn't take the same approach.

"San Francisco's coroner is currently trying to establish whether one of the two fatalities died of injuries after being run over by an emergency vehicle rushing to the scene of the crash."

oh dear.

There is an audio of the air traffic control radio coms on liveleak i cant make much of it but to me it sounds like everyone thought they were at 3100ft but i dont know its all very confusing.

This will be one of those incidents that National Geographic make a sh*tty documentary about in six years time.

A girl has died in hospital to become the third fatality in the crash of an Asiana Airlines jet at San Francisco airport last Saturday.

The child, who died on Friday morning, is a Chinese national and had been in critical condition, according to a statement from two doctors at San Francisco General Hospital.

The crash landing of the Boeing also killed two Chinese teenage girls and injured more than 180 other people.
