Advantages: Very unlikely you will crash

Disadvantages: It can happen (rarely though)

Flying is often ?bad-mouthed? by people because of all the crashes that happen. This can scare people very much, as it did so to my mother. Although, you must think that there is a very large amount of planes in the skies, and crashes have been highlighted a lot more since the September 11th incident, which made people who already had a phobia of flying absolutely terrified. There has only been around 5 crashes since then,
and only around 2 or 3 of them would have been shown a lot in the media before the terrible day in September. All of these crashes occurred at this time by coincidence. It is most unlikely to happen to you if you are worried, but yes, it does happen. A lot of flights have minor problems that you often won?t find out that happened while you were in the air. All of these situations were handled easily, or they would have told you. So don?t worry. You are in capable hands when you are in the sky.
