I've been terrified of flying ever since I fully realized the extent of my own mortality - that and, of course, 9/11 which filled me with so much grief for everyone involved I don't know if I'll ever get over it. I travel quite a bit, so I have to deal with my fear on a fairly regular basis. I always comfort myself thinking, "What are the odds?" Well, the odds got fucked today. It's so amazing that this plane landed in one piece and everyone is okay! I'm sure all of the people as so, so grateful to be alive right now. It sent crazy fight-or-flight hormones surging through my body just looking at this picture, much less experiencing it. There are a million news stories pouring in on the web about this, if you want to search more. Salient details are that the plane landed in one piece and everyone is alive!
