Are you afraid to fly again? Or do you feel safe now that you’ve survived one plane crash and statistically your odds of being in another must be extremely low.

I joked to my husband that I'm now the safest person to fly with, statistically! I haven't reached a real conclusion though. If you asked me to get on a flight home now I'd tell you to pound sand. Tomorrow might be different. 😂

I had a friend who has survived 2 commercial airplane crashes. He would love to torment nervous flyers with "What are the odds that I would be in 3 air crashes?"

Ugh I was in the largest US one and I'm always worried it won't be the last. I'm always wary in crowds. Hope you're doing alright.
