Which Is More Dangerous . . . (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A post on Quora hit my newsfeed. It was titled “Is it more dangerous for the plane while taking off or landing?” Some answered takeoff. Some said landing. Both answers are wrong. Answering the question as framed confirms both as dangerous though neither, in fact, is dangerous at all. Why? Because of control. When landing or when taking off, the pilots have exquisite control. Control means safety.Anxious fliers ask a similar question about turbulence. “Has turbulence gotten more dangerous?” Answe

Your Personal Point Of No Return (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Passengers generally regard the closing of the airliner’s door as the point of no return. At this point, most anxious flyers begin to relax. Why? It has to do with how we are wired up psychologically. The conscious protective system’s job is predicting what will happen. When the flight is inevitable, it stops doing that. Prediction makes no sense. What was in the future is now in the present. And there is nothing the person can do anyway. For these two reasons, anxious flyers shift from thinking
