Still ... flying is much safer than driving on the roads, especially here in the US. More lives are lost because of human stupidity and loose nuts behind the steering wheel than any other mode of transportation.

"loose nuts behind the steering wheel" made me smile. In the case of plane crashes, sadly a lot of them seem to be caused by poor maintenance or bad design.
I have ein notice hanging just below the back facing mirror on my 250mph motor Vagon unt it reads so[ITS NOT SPEED THAT KILLS ITS THE SUDDEN STOP AT THE END]
Good one, Colin ...

I have never flown. I was contemplating my first flight to Portugal. If a boat sinks I know I can swim. If a car breaks down I know I can walk. But flying........ I may have to change my mind and holiday in Wales.

Teddles - nah, take the plane, they are very safe, and statistically, you're in a fairly crash-free zone. I certainly have had a couple of "hairy flights", one where a bit of the wing fell off and the flight was cancelled (thank god it didn't happen when we were at 35000 feet) and the other where an engine on a jumbo had a blow-out. Now that WAS scary, but the engine was powered off and we continued limping across the heavens on three engines. Still, neither of these events have put me off flying. Helicopter ... nah, never. In a plane, you've at least got a slight chance of gliding if your engines fail ...
I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God.

Trouble is most airliners glide like a brick.
Yeah - Jumbos do not glide, but 737s and tristars can and do ... problem isn't with the gliding, its the landing!
What is they say, something like
If you can walk away from the plane, it was a landing, if not it was a crash.
Plus you have these mad buggers with bombs
QANTAS and Air New Zealand aren't high on the terrorists' hit list so far, let's hope it stays that way.
True thank the Lord, but we do have our home grown idealistic idiots
