It's a terrible tragedy and I am in no way making light of that. But it is strange how people have texted me, even though they know it is infinitesimally unlikely that I happened to be on the plane, just because it was flying to Germany and I'm (presumably) one of the only people they know who lives in Germany. It's weird. It's like they almost WANT me to have crashed into some mountains so they can be "closer" to a major news event. Odd isn't. People phoned and texted me after the London bombings because I occasionally went into work at our London office (which was in no way anywhere near the affected locations) - even though they knew that when I did go into London I worked 11am to 7pm.

You should have been around in the 70s, when commercial passenger air travel really took off. There was a big accident pretty much every month in those days. There may have been a small peak in recent months but air travel is thousands of times safer today than forty years ago. We weren't clapping and cheering for nothing, everytime we landed safely.
Optimistic as ever |

Or they just f*cking hate you......did they sound disappointed when you answered ?
Terrible the spate of air disasters we have had recently - not being the worlds best flier I cant imagine what its like to have those as your final seconds on this planet

It's undeniably statistically a very safe way to travel and, as Kermit said, when you realise how many planes are up there at any given moment you're massively odds against to ever be one of the unfortunate ones. Having said that since I moved abroad and started flying back and forth from England several times a year, I've become quite a nervous flyer and can't imagine many more terrifying ways to go. Life is a lottery of all manner of terrible, amusing and absurd ways to die, and if you don't win the accidental / deliberate death sweepstakes, the cost of participation if death by disease. The advantage of a plane crash is it'll be quick, and you won't have to worry about living with terrible injuries (usually). The downside is that despite what they say, most people are still alive when they hit the ground (even when the plane has been blown up - explosions on planes are relatively small, as you don't really need to do too much damage to bring a plane down - physics tends to take care of the rest). The game of life, everyone loses in the end. Its basically about trying to stay alive long enough for natural causes to win.

Probably all of it, I'd have thought, but whilst that's horrible, its better than say several minutes of agonizing pain from drowning (which is far more painful than people imagine) or being dragged to death. Like being in a plane, hurtling towards the ground, that's probably as terrible, but existential anguish rarely hurts as much as physical pain. I think I'd rather the fall over say being trapped in a burning car (both painful and horrible). Also, its probably so scary that your conscious mind is almost disengaged by the adrenaline.

Fingers crossed for a heart attack in a Swedish brothel then, eh?
