    This is more predictable. I watched a special about African airlines and won't step foot in one ever. The planes they use are on par with the Russian ones.

    My stocks are falling!?

    In all seriousness, I hope everything will be fine.

    I feel bad for the families, I'll be praying.

    Sounds like this one could be weather-related.

    You are more likely to die on the way to an airport than actually flying.

    The stats might be in my favor but still give me a parachute and a eject button so I can blast off.

    I'd rather take my chances doing that than stay on a plane while it's going down.

    But I am far more likely to survive a car crash than a plane crash. ;)

    At 30k feet?

    I guess that's technically better than hitting the ground in a tin can but still, 30k feet with a chute as a complete first timer?

    He'll pass out from lack of oxygen before he could reach for the shoot.

    Don't ever go bungee jumping in Mexico. They just don't have the regulations.
