How the hell do people ride in airplanes

[Jimmy from Linkedin]

I was on a plane that was struck by lightning

what was that like??

 

[staticshock]

That shyt is peaceful. You fly over towns that look little ant beds. I haven't flown over an ocean yet, that will probably give me more anxiety

Had to fly from japan to Atlanta..spent over 10 hours flying above the ocean

shyt was surreal.

I never flew till I joined the military a while back. I was scared just like op but I actually enjoy it now.

I use to fly from Cali to southeast Asia on the regular. fukkin hated them 15 to 24 hour travel times.

Real talk know someone who refused to fly again after this happened. Takes the train to from cali and boston now.

A train from Cali to Boston?!? He needs to get over that fear

yeah i went on a plane once when I was a teen by myself, my ears was killin me the whole time (1.5 hr flight). never again.

I was never a huge fan myself, but you get used to it if you do it on a regular basis.

 

[BaldingSoHard]

Not scared of flying but I hate that shyt. Any flight longer than about 2 hours makes me restless as fukk. I hate sitting there, just sitting. fukk.

last month i flew to LA and we experienced turbulence and it felt like the plane was being pushed down

bare in mind this is the 2nd time i ever flew so that shyt gave me a mini heart attack

flight was 5 hours long, god damn i got so much respect to the people that fly 10+ hours man

Accidents are more likely sure, but we know what has the higher survival rate.

But for those unlucky enough to be involved in the small percent of fatal air accidents, what are the odds of survival if your plane does crash?

The NTSB says that despite more people flying than ever, the accident rate for commercial flights has remained the same for the last two decades, and the survivability rate is a high 95.7 percent.

The European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) has also examined the survivability of aircraft accidents worldwide, estimating that 90 percent are survivable (no passengers died) or “technically survivable," where at least one occupant survives. Most of those fatalities were a result of impact and fire-related factors including smoke inhalation after impact.




Granted there are exceptions. Think the 9/11 attacks definitely skewed the data.

Looking out the window seat during takeoff ... and then seeing the clouds at eye level.. is one of the dopest experiences, shyt never gets old. I love flying for that reason alone.

This.

It's a feeling like no other in them clouds (shout-out to that nikka Mario!)

I'll damn near fight someone for the window seat!

Type of turbulence that make you look around to see how other people react to make sure you ain't a bytch like that. Feeling the G-Force in your stomach and shyt

breh, that turbulence was bad.
my brother took a bus back home to namibia.
there was absolutely no way i was getting him on another plane.
i still remind him of that trip from time to time

It's super enjoyable if you ride first class with TSA pre-check. The experience can be miserable if you flying out of a hub airport with no pre-check and you are stuck on in a middle seat in economy in the back of the plane.

Took this back in 2012

 

[earl n water]

the speed boost when the jet push off on the runway tho!!!!

This is what caught me off guard my first time flying. You don't realize how fukkin fast the plane is moving on the runway during take off, until you're actually IN it. Double points with a window seat.
