Cool
Doesn’t anybody get that feeling on a Plane that they are scared but when they land they are like “what was I scared about, I won’t be scared the next time” and then when you fly again you’re scared again?
DanM 704 me 😂😂😂😂✅
Me too
I feel like that
That's me everytime
Yep 😂😭😭
As a pilot what scares me the most is driving to the airport.
Steve Harvey how come ?

So you say that take off, landing, approach is just a routine for you?

I’m mad at myself because I’ve flown many times, then I randomly became scared of flying.
Me too - I have found its more about the control and time aspect - and also leaving my normally scheduled programming behind - some is the actual flying - but I know its safer than most anything we do. Just have to keep positive! Also I stopped flying about 20 years ago due to inner ear problems - then 9/11 happened - this coming weekend will be my first time back up - I have 4 short to and from flights - fingers crossed!
Fr, I actually used to enjoy flying until a couple of years ago. No idea why. What sucks is I'd be scared of flying somehwere, then feel great that I landed, but I'll get a sense of doom because I'll have to fly home again.
Me too. Out of the blue I became irrationally and terminally afraid of flying one day. I haven't flown since 1984. Go figure.
@@rf9531 Same here. I was always happy when I landed at a destination, then I would be continuously anxious throughout my vacation bcz of the very thought of having to fly back home again. This fear would always ruin my vacation for me.
@@rf9531same! Planning holidays is just horrendous because of the very fact that I have to fly. The whole holiday is reduced to flying and the fear it causes. It sucks.

This just turned my fear of flying into a fear of driving
What sucks is being kinda afraid of flying but having a love for traveling. So I just deal with it. I know it’s super safe, but there’s something about the mechanical marvel of planes in comparison to cars, where a car is just wheels a plane is super heavy and fighting gravity.
For reference, I also have a fear of heights lol. But will not stop traveling
You hit the nail on the head. This is me
Look at it from the other side: instead of the mechanical marvel, think of the human factor. Planes are flown by extremely talented and heavily trained pilots, while virtually anyone can drive a car... and you share the road with hundreds of these "anyones" every time that you take a ride.
Yes I’m in the same boat lol ( pun intended )
I’m fortunate to be able to go on cruises but I only go on the ones that depart from my home country (UK) and not the ones where you have to take a flight first. It is somewhat limiting but I’m grateful I at least get to travel abroad still.
I’ve faced my fear 3 times with EasyJet’s Experience Flights (after not getting on a plane for 17 years!!) and have experienced a little improvement, but still not enough that I feel ready to get on a normal flight . I really hope and intend to overcome this one day. ✈️
Man... You inspirared me so much... Thank yiu bro
I'm not afraid of flying. I'm afraid of crashing! I don't like the feeling of not knowing what's going on and not being in control.
Jason Green same! what a horrible way to die! but to be honest, the flight channel made me feel better even tho it makes videos about plane crashes, but the more the crashes occur, the more will pilots play attention. so the crashes are less likely to happen.
Jason Green ye I see where your coming from. But you have to understand that your life is in the hands of professionals. Pilots go through years of training to fly. Everything is checked on the aircraft before you even board the plane. It wouldn’t be such a popular way of transportation if it wasn’t safe enough 👍👍👍😊😊😊
That’s exactly what causes fear of flying!
Same
Jason Green
Same or for me it’s mainly like not being able to have any control
I'm a private pilot with a fear of driving. No joke- I don't even have a driver's licence. Freeways scare the hell out of me.
Wow! No joke?
@@mwillis1234 Man have you seen some of the pictures of what happens to people in car crashes? At least in 90% of plane crashes you just die instantly. And I mean, car crashes are the leading cause of death for people under 30, with over 37,000 dead last year from car crashes in the US alone...
Yeah, no thanks, I'd just as soon bike or take the train to the airport...
Im totally the opposite of u tommotow im going to madrid from school trip and planes scare me alot!
Same I'm doing my ppl and a bit more scared of driving cause you dont know when someone will pull out without looking in front of you
@@conorcorrigan765 bruh are you scared to drive a car?
I love flying, I love the window seats, love watching the plane take off and seeing the houses look like dollhouses, look the chances of something bad happening are very slim, you got a better chance of meeting someone famous on that flight then of a disaster happening. So chill people afraid of flying. Millions of people fly each day and come home alive. So chill.
Same here I love sitting by the window and look outside during take and landing. I wouldn’t say I’m scared of heights but I don’t the feeling when the plane is going through the turbulence.
The fear mainly derives from the fact that if ur plane starts going down, Ur chances of survival are extremely slim. Not all car crashes are fatal. Secondly, Its the psychological 'What if' that we constantly think to ourselves. Flying is not a everyday thing so Its easier to link danger with it. Its exactly the same as a roller coaster. People are scared of them because they think about dying, Otherwise it would just be pure enjoyment. Nobody gets in their car and thinks about a car crash.
The issue is the complete lack of control and understanding I have about what is going on. I may not be in control of a car but I can see and understand everything that is happening in front of me. I can see the road, the traffic, the driver, I can feel and hear what state the car is in etc.
On a plane I'm listening for noises I don't understand, in a vessel I don't have any idea about, being driven by a Pilot I can't even see or hear for most the journey, throw 35,000 feet between me and the floor into the equation and you've got one very afraid man right here!
# 893 same
# 893 Perfectly said. All the statistics in the world won’t take away the anxiety of being completely out of control.
Yes... And I'm forced by my wife and mother in law to get on a plane August 31st and I don't want to go, but they are counting on me to go with them for a purpose post flight... I'm literally scared s#$less about this upcoming flight!
Jdl Jdl - Waiting for the day to arrive is the worst part, I've put it off for 5 years now and I have one coming up soon. Once you're on it you'll be back on terra firma before you know it. Couple of stiff drinks in the airport and go and own the day!
Ben Mackay - Does mommy know you're on the PC past bedtime?
I think many people are just scared that they don’t have control of their own fate while flying. If it’s going to crash, you can’t really do anything about it
SqueamishOrange well I just learned about 9/11 and my place takes off at 9 at night so it’s gonna be dark 😖
And also you have like 10-15 seconds before you crash so you’re just waiting to die, that’s the worst for me
Unless your tom Cruise !!
Yes, i know. Even worse if the plan gets hijackt, then nobody can do enyfing not even the crew🤮
Just not get on it at all💔
For some reason I’m worried on takeoff but right after I hit the clouds (I’m guessing that’s around 10,000 feet) my anxiety disappears
yeah, because the takeoff is at a fast speed, but once you get up above the clouds, everything is calm
Same!
Now I got to worry about getting struck by lightning and getting eaten by a shark
Cum Nugget lmao
Then you should see a video of why you shouldn't be afraid of sharks...:)
Actually more likely to die from a cow than being attacked by a shark
Thank you! Now I am scared of cows! 🐄 🐮
Now what if you crash land into a cow pasture during a thunderstorm?
Your more likely to fall out of bed and die than dying in a plane crash
That's why....
im now scared to sleep...
George Oxley I laughed out loud
but planes do crash, even if it a million to 1 chance
George Oxley this helped me more that this entire video thx lol
But if a plane crashes there is less chance of survival. In a car.crash....more.chance of surviving
Going on a pretty long flight in two weeks. I've been on a LOT of planes since my family is constantly traveling, but ever since scary turbulence experience I've been a bit nervous about them ever since. This helped me out a bit, I live by a airport so I see planes coming in and out every day. Itll be OK :)
SAME I was on a plane that dropped out of the sky and they were serving drinks at this time. Some woman had to grab the coffee pot on the cart after she was praying we'd all be okay lol.
i had a very similar experience lol

same, but i think to myself: "the airline i take only has had 1 terrorism attack so far, and its a long time ago, and no one died in it also, what are the odds that i could be in their 2nd terrorism attack?"
I'm not afraid of flying. I'm afraid of suddenly not flying.
Planes dont fall from the sky like bricks. They can fly and land with no engines safely! It's a safest form of transportation. I can guarantee, you will take off and land safely, and your fear will probably just go away.

Samuel Whaley don’t worry, every plane landed… every
@@stepanzatloukal3381 What goes up must come down 😁. But did they all land in one piece?
My issue with flying is just being totally out of control. Once you're up there, there is nothing I can do if anything goes wrong. Its a weird phobia that has only gotten worse with time, the last time I was on a plane which I think was a 14 hour flight I was in tears with fear while taxing on the run way and I spent the whole flight just hoping we got home OK. Such a rubbish feeling!
Yeah me too 😭 like I wish I had a pilot’s license so I could fly myself lol
14 hours seems like an eternity to feel like at any second you might die
I cry to when there was some sharp down on left turbulence, so nexts fly I drunk strong sedative but I can feel my hard still beating strongly when it's take off
Imagine having a mid-air fire over the atlantic ocean at night and then the plane breaks into two pieces, and crashes in the ocean from 30.000+ thousand feet . Thats what happened with a Swiss Air flight.....No planes for me too
@@ashokathegreat4534 why do you need to say this here ? If you dont want to Travel, thats YOUR problem
I hate when people say, “it’s safer to be in a plane than it is in a car”. Because to us who are fearful of flying, that doesn’t make a difference. In fact, I feel much much safer in a car because I have control. I can turn right or left. I can give it gas, hit the brakes or I can back up. AND I’m grounded. I have four wheels on the ground. While I’m up in the air, I have ZERO CONTROL. I also have to share a bathroom with tons of strangers, sit very close to strangers, and suffer from an anxiety attack due to claustrophobia. The thought of a terrorist attacking the plane, or perhaps the pilot planning to commit suicide and take the plane down with them is enough to make me not want to fly point-blank, PERIOD. Because that has happened. That’s the reality. There are so many different thoughts that go through your head being on a plane opposed to just driving down the street in your car. Again once a plane goes down or even skids off the runway, chances are you’re not going to survive. I have tried everything in the past 40 years of my life to get over this fear and phobia. I just flew again this past weekend and the same fears came to my head. I can’t watch a movie or read a book due to motion sickness. Listening to music doesn’t help because I’m completely distracted by the fact that I am 30,000 feet above the air and hopefully the noises that I hear are not detrimental. and turbulence is a whole other nightmare. Again, some people have claustrophobia and “AEROPHOBIA” and it’s very very, very serious 😢
What if someone in another car decides to run into other people or shoot up peoples cars
It happens and you can’t control other people yet you still drive
I agree! It’s horrific just thinking about the what ifs. I love traveling but still can’t get use to being airborne with zero control.🙏🏼
I agree with you. I only ride plane unless I have no other option.
My wife booked me 8 flights in 1 months, to Asia travel. It scared me to death everytime I on the plane. Specially 1 trip have a servers turbulence while landing it freaked me out I almost scream. Then I find out there 2 trips I can take the train I canceled the flight immediately and buy the train tickets😂. I always told myself no problem I on the safest transportation ever but I still scared.
this really helped me, i get extreme anxiety every time i fly on a plane. thank you for this
If you're still unsure, next time you're on a flight have a glance on the flight attendants. If they're still smiling and serving drinks, everything is in order.

The thing is.. im not afraid of flying the concept itself. I am afraid of 1. Myself, what if i freak out? There is no way to temporarily step out of the plane to collect myself cause im so high up. 2. Ive never been in a plane and i am scared of the feeling of going up in the air and descending for landing. Im also scared of the ear pain. Overall, im just scared of myself and the new physical feelings that come with flying edit: and these 2 fears overwhelm me
I'm going on a 10 hour flight over the summer and terrified of flying. Hopefully this'll help!

If all of these are true then why do planes crash at all? If planes want to stay in the air then why do crashes seem to happen daily? I’m terrified of flying and can’t seem to use rational thinking to overcome it.

I think what scares people the most is the fact that unlike a car accident where you still have a chance of survival, taking a flight is gonna be either everything just fine or everything that PERISHES
People have survived plane crashes
@@LillyTVLPS people have survived atomic bombs too. Thx for the reminder
You've got a much better chance of survival in a plane crash compared to a car crash, then there is the fact that you are exponentially less likely to get in a plane crash compared to a car crash.
Pilots have safely landed planes with engines not functioning, with landing gears not functioning, windows being opened during the flight, low fuel, and even on water. Car crashes just happen. I think we hate the feeling of not being in touch with the ground. I have a fear of flying but whenever I put it logically, planes are so damn safe. The ones flying, the pilots, are more experienced than the average car driver
actually the vast majority of plane clashes aren’t fatal
I don't fear the safety of the planes but the skills/competence of the pilots. There's a big shortage of pilots today. I hope airlines dont reduce the standards for pilot.
I’m guessing the pilots are scared too, hence the shortage.
i LOVE flying ✈️ yes it’s a bit scary especially turbulence because it’s uncomfortable butttttt it’s amazing knowing you are so high up and being able to experience the beauty of flying, something not everyone will experience in their lifetime.
Strange tip: if you’re afraid of flying, watch air crash investigation. If you watch enough of them you really get the idea that planes are so incredibly safe. Unfortunately a lot of the time it takes a plane crash to find out what was wrong with the plane/radar/air traffic control/safety checks etc in order to improve all other planes but basically the crashes ultimately lead to safer air travel
Great advice! Thanks for sharing
Air Crash Investigation is the reason I was willing to get on a plane again after a particular death that made me distrustful of the people in the airline industry. That show is 20+ seasons of people talking about how they take my safety seriously, and thanks to them I flew again a couple of months ago. The episodes can be quite graphic, though, so viewer discretion is recommended.
Well the Max 8 Boeing 737 's crashes in recent times is a good example of me not wishing to be a guinea pig when flying new airplanes.
When i first saw this video, i instinctively thought this channel had over 1 million subs.

The whole times I was hearing “Logan you are my hero, you mean the world to me”.
you’d think that since i’ve been going on flights a couple times each year i’ve been alive, i should be fine with flying. but nope, after each flight i get more and more scared. but it’s mainly fear of turbulence because that’s horrible
You know what scares me the most? The maintenance. I am the most scared of people not doing their job properly so the aircraft is damaged or they didn't noticed something that needed repairs. Also because you see a lot on the news how they need to cut the budget. So they're trying to save on fuel etc. I heard pilots refuse to fly at some budget company's because they thought it was too unsafe with the minimal fuel on board. This is what keeps me awake at night. The lack of maintenance on the aircraft. I am flying in August and I am terrified.
I’m a major airline snob partly for this reason. I won’t touch budget airlines, especially the really notorious ones.
This used to be the cause of most crashes in the 70s & 80s, it's actually less likely over the last few decades as regulations are tighter than ever before. Mind you that statistic in this video about the likelihood includes those issues, there are more flights than ever before but less crashes over the last decade or so. Airlines are extremely precautionary, if a takeoff has something not quite right it'll be aborted, planes can stop their roll before their Vmax velocity. The captains and such do checklists, and there's quite a lot of redundancy, planes having multiple electronics systems, backup methods of measuring altitude. Even in some of the crashes I've seen, where pilots were at fault, it was sometimes their 20,000th hour flying without incident.
As a pilot, there’s honestly nothing to worry about:)

I love flying love taking off and just seeing your surroundings from the window distort from the speed you are going seeing the view of the city (though it may be far in the distance)before it reaches its peak altitude. Knowing when it lands you’ll be in a far away place with lots of new things to do and see and flying and getting another aerial view is the perfect way to cap off the trip
But what if you never reach your destination because during that magical takeoff where the surroundings are distorting from speed, improperly secured luggage suddenly slides across the plane causing it to tilt to the side before rapidly descending and killing everyone on board? What then?

A car crash usually happens instantly. You don’t even have time to think about dying. In a plane crash, you often have many seconds and sometimes minutes.
Watching these vids on loop because I had a really bad experience on a plane a couple months ago
This video is very helpful, thank you :)
For me personally a fear of flying is not based on how rare of an event it is. It’s due to how horrific and terrifying that death would be if I happened to hit that bad luck lottery. Crashing a car it all happens so fast it’s over before you really know it. But a terrorist attack where the plane is hijacked or a pilot decides to crash the plane would be so horrendous.
Actually with the speed of the airplane you’d probably be killed in an instant
@@Inevitably_Gaming well yes, but you have to sit there for many, many minutes, just waiting for your demise, fully knowing you are gonna die. That’s gotta be awful

I have a terrible fear of flying. I have a business trip in a few weeks and the anxiety is overwhelming to the point where I I'm getting diarrhea and heart palpitations. To make it worse, I have 2 connecting flights on the way home, and one of those flights is on one of those small regional jets. I know the odds are in my favor and the probability of anything bad happening is incredibly slim, but I just can't shake the fear that no matter how "good" the odds are, I AWAYS feel that MY flight will be that fatal one out of millions. I'm so tired of feeling this way. There's so many places I want to see that require flying. I know I can't predict the future and nothing is certain, but I don't wanna die from flying. I just wanna be able to enjoy flying, whether it be domestic or international, knowing that I'm gonna be ok and nothing bad will happen and that it's not my fate to die in a plane crash/explosion/incident/etc. I do wanna sign up for the SOAR courses but I can't afford it at the moment.
As a former flight attendant you shouldn't be scared, I know it's easier said than done but in 20 years career anything serious happened to me. Try relaxing exercises and create a playlist with classical music so you can listen in the plane. You can also try aromatherapy. Don't let fear conquer you! Wish you the best
Thanks, I truly appreciate the reply! My fear of flying is very embarrassing because I feel like a burden, especially to my wife. There's so many places we talk about wanting to visit around the world, but the though of airline travel frightens me. For example, next year she wants to visit Hawaii for her birthday. We haven't even booked the tickets yet and already, just the thought is giving me anxiety. To make it worse, when we arrive to Oahu, I can't even enjoy the vacation because all I'll be thinking about is the return flight home. My wife jokes around with me because I ride motorcycles for a living, which is obviously FAR more dangerous than flying. But whenever I fly, I can't shake the feeling that each flight could potentially be my last. My business trip is 3 weeks away and my anxiety so high right now.
2stroke it’s funny because I’m going through the same thing right now. First time flyer and the nerves are setting in. I fly out May 14th. I have two connecting flights. I’m just at this point hoping I love flying. I get stomachs issues as well and dizziness and PANIC. So I’m HOPING it’s easy. I hope that when I fly out it’s just like a simple boring car ride
@@AskingAlexandr14 hello my friend! Sorry to hear about your flying fear. Trust me it's a terrible feeling. But, I will surely keep you in my prayers for you to have a safe trip! Please let me know when you get there. I fly out on 5/13 and I fly back 5/17: have 2 connecting flights on the 17th.

Who else at take off feels like the plane is about to fall off the sky 😁😅
YEP
So me I litterly start screaming and crying when the plane is Taking off....
Going again tomorrow...
When the plane levels off after ascent, that gets me every time. Or when they want to go higher to avoid weather or turbulence.
That's so relatable!
fall off the sky ?
What really scares me isn’t actually being in the air. It’s the thought that a giant object can even be up there
I was on a flight from singapore back to europe and all of the sudden I had that weird feeling of "man it's crazy we're so high above the ground right now, it'd be real bad if the plane crashed" and then the plane got hit by pretty bad turbolence and I was scared as shit for a second.
I'm still scared of flying... nothing gonna change that
Same here. I have all the knowledge from all these videos and I've done it over 50 times but I still am scared.
Gacha Life Gigi same
The medication doctors prescribe people to calm them down on planes is more dangerous than the flight itself

My dad is a pilot with about 40 thousands hours flown (something like this) and the only “problem he had was that there was a rabbit on runway so they had to stop the plane, call airport servis and they could fly, so yes, flying is very safe
My grandfather has been smoking for 50 years and the only problem he had was some coughing for like 2 weeks, but after that he was perfectly fine as before. So yes, smoking is very safe
Sorry, this argument is bullshit, eventhough the message that flying is safe is totally right
@@asdf-zx6sx And the fact that you think the argument is bullshit just tells everyone reading your comment that you don’t have the first clue of how statistics work.
@@s4aviator804 Why dont I have a clue how statistics work? I feel like you didnt understand my comment, which is funny, because even a 10th grader should be able to understand what I mean
@@asdf-zx6sx With all of the aggregate data available, you can (with some very large numbers) calculate the Relative Risk of one hour of flying. You can take that RR paired with the number of hours a person spends on an airplane in their lives, and determine their overall risk factor of being involved in an aviation related incident. Translation? The more hours you spend in an airplane, the more at risk you are. So, someone who spends 40,000 hours of their life flying, or around 850 hours (35 full days) per year of a career in an airplane, is far more at risk than the average traveler. The fact that most pilots spend their entire careers without experiencing a major incident, despite their drastically higher exposure to the risk factor, speaks volumes. That was his argument, which is a totally valid one.
Ironically, you could do the exact same thing with your grandfather and his smoking, by determining the RR of serious illness per cigarette smoked. The difference is, the RR is drastically higher, making smoking a significantly riskier proposition. Hence why using an example like that to discredit the OP’s argument is kinda stupid.
@@s4aviator804 Very well explained, thank you!
Its about drawing conclusions from an individual case. Without knowing how dangerous flying or smoking really is, you would conclude from both statements that both flying and smoking is safe. Of course flying is super super safe and smoking is the complete opposite. Of course the argument "my dad smoked his whole life" is complete bullshit. But why is it a bad argument in one case, and in another it is a valid argument? The correctness of the argument doesnt change how good of an argument it is, you cant conclude ANYTHING from both statements. You cant conclude that smoking is safe, you cant conclude that flying is safe, without seeing the big picture.
Youre saying that I want to "discredit the OP’s argument" with "an example like that". Its the same argument, just another use case. When you say its a stupid argument in my use case, which it clearly is, then its also a stupid argument in OP's use case
Thank you, this really helped. I was doing okay until I heard of that plain crash in China a few days ago. My fear of flying returned immediately
When was this??
Only God knows❤️. Stay safe everyone:))
Amen💗
How
amen 😭😭 im so scared of flying but i wanna go to japan next year..
So that means we forget about precautions?
Why don't you jump off airlane and say God knows?🙄
@@Shzy. stop being a smarta**, they're just saying only god knows in/when we're gonna crash
me: * isn’t afraid of flying*
me: *sees this video*
me again: eh why not
I’m just getting proof for my friend that’s scared of flying.
I'm not scared of the plane crashing, the feeling of flight just makes me uncomfortable and triggers my anxiety for some reason.
Yep. This video is a bit silly. In the same way, most people that are scared of spiders aren't afraid of being bitten. Here in the UK spiders are completely harmless, but arachnophobia is extremely common. Fear doesn't work like that.
@Stephanie Ellison lolol whatever you need to tell yourself 😅
Basically
@stephanieellison7834 As a Christian--Anglican or Episcopalian as known in the States ,we do not believe in such a hell you describe but I know of several Roman Catholics who are deathly afraid of going to a Dante's Inferno hell if they even miss one church mass on Sundays.
For the people who are scared of an upcoming flight.
There is no need to be afraid, for me, the worst part is taking off, it's not as bad as you think it is, it was just me overreacting, I've been on a flight numerous times and I've survived every single one, I'm still here, so if I'm still here, you're all going to be just fine. Once the plane is up in the air, I'm gonna be honest, I didn't wanna come back down, it was so nice enjoying the view of the clouds, and landing was such a fun experience.
Sorry take my chances on the bus
Of all the fear-of-flying vides on UA-cam.....this is the best one to watch!!!
Thank you so much. I’m freaking out. In a day a I’m crossing the Atlantic. 😰😰😰
Juan Vega you’ll be ok don’t worry 👌🏻
I learned about that air transat flight 236 like 2 days before crossing the atlantic on an air transat flight XD
Same
@@duncanverdult3894 Air Transat is my favourite airline but i don't think Air Canada have bought them out :D
@@nathandachallenger9200 cool, Air Transat is also my fav airline. But i dont think they bought them out either
I had a panic attack for an entire flight after I took a plane for the first time in 8 years. Since then, I have flown 19 times. Every single time I've felt so much better and now I get excited about it. I still have to clench my stomach during take off though ;)
The fact that if a plane crashes is almost sure you’ll die vs the fact that you won’t necessarily die from a car accident is what scares me. So that fact of an accident happening in a plane vs a car is not reassuring.
ive always been afraid to get on a plain but this video makes me feel
confident to go on a plan!!
Wow I had not a clue about these facts! Thanks so much, very helpful!
I feel that the pilots have enough experience to fly a plane hence, I’m never afraid. Hope to be a pilot one day💙
Why do i see u everywhere its like we have the same recommended
But the pay is ass. I can make 8 figures a year from dropshipping in my basement
TOPLYRICS i dont care about the pay tbh. i just love flying
@@toplyrics457 You clearly have no idea how much Pilots earn.
I have a flight coming up soon. From Orange County CA to Houston TX. I do have a fear of flying so wish me luck!
Edit: So overall the trip wasn’t bad at all. 4 hours of painless, stress-free cruising from one destination to another. Pilot did a great job and attendants were very friendly. If flying an airplane was like this everytime then it would actually be fun and not scary.
One helpful hint is if you’re on a long plane trip is too just think positive and find ways to make the x hours go by fast. You know watch movies or do crosswords or something along those lines.
Thanks for the advice! I have a flight in 9/11. Going to france lol i mean its only 4 hours but still feels like eternity
Love how I just clicked this to put my mind at ease for my upcoming trip and all I'm reading is people terrified of dying from a plane crash. Instead of being calmed, it makes me think that maybe the fear is valid. So this had the opposite effect. Especially the comment about how the pilot is separate and you don't hear him and I too don't understand the mechanics of why this many tonned metal thing can subvert gravity, I will now be also listening for sounds I don't understand. Fear increased
Your more likely to die in a car crash on the way to the airport...
This just made me afraid of the other things I could die from lmao
Wow thanks I’ve had a massive fear of flying my whole life and I can barely stand even looking at a plane but this helped so much and I’m still weary but I feel a lot safer.
I needed to watch this. I've been watching videos about plane crashes and stressing out, but watching this, it lowered my stress. Thanks. (I'm about to fly in a few days so.. erk)
I actually have a flight soon and I was terrified but somehow this video appeared in my recommendations it was really helpful
If you have a fear of flying, just drink a beer or 2. I call it beer of flying.
👀
LosAngeles.323 good joke but reality is different… if you’re drunk you can just be kicked out of tha plane
@@stepanzatloukal3381 I didn't say get drunk. Just a drink or 2. Unless you can get drunk off 2 drinks lol
LosAngeles.323 lol, true, or drink in middle of atlantic ocean so you can stay in the airplane, lol
Stepan Zatloukal I was gonna say, what are they gonna do when your 30,000 feet above the Atlantic and your wasted? Lmfao
Thank you so much for this. This year I learned a lot about 9/11 this year and I am flying to Colorado in April so I was scared but this really helped thank you so much!!
Thanks for sharing, I feel much better than before, I will keep this in mind next time I fly cheers.
Who is watching this on the flight day?? 😂
Thank u because im going on a 2 hour flight tomorrow and not so scared
Im going to LA from Heathrow airport and it is 11 hours
I was afraid of planes until I went on one, now I love flying, it was a 9 hour flight on one plane and another 10 hours on another.
I'm flying in 3 days and this video got on my recommended lol. I fly around 5 times a year for vacation etc, and I know it's safe but some moments give me goosebumps.
I just think when I'm on a plane if it crashes it crashes I can't do anything about it
I think that's the secret sauce everyone has to admit works: you "hur dur" your way out of caring. Not in a bad way, but it's honestly a choice to put your life in the hands of qualified professionals like you would a doctor or mechanic.
Great content as always, thanks for this 😄
Wow! I saw a comment saying they were surprised you only had 715 subscribers! That was 2 weeks ago and now you have 5.8k :) im still very surprised thats all you have but im glad to see you're growing so quick! This video is so nicely edited and very informative, I'm about to check out more of your videos, oh and heres another sub! :)
Clementine 6.6 now!
Mentour Pilot’s channel is excellent for those with a fear of flying. Despite the fact he analyzes incidents and crashes, the safety systems in place prove how safe flying is and how rare incidents are let alone crashes. He gives you an understanding of how planes work, the systems designed to keep the aircraft safe and the amazing ability of pilots. I used to get very nervous during take off and especially during any kind of light turbulence because I had little to no understanding of what was happening. Although I still cannot fully relax on an aircraft, I no longer have a fear of flying.
Thank you so much for this video, I really needed it.
Thanks for the help! I’m flying to Michigan tomorrow and I’m really scared of planes, but now... knowing it’s INSANELY rare, it makes me feel better a little bit 😌
Thanks, this helped me so much, now I can finally know that everything will be fine.
*I'm The Pilot btw*
AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHH
I hope not
xD *but why were you scared before this video?*
Because I died in an accident before...
Wait.. *⊙︿⊙*
@@magokh3300 looool xD
i keep getting plane crash documentary videos in my recommended and now i get this. honestly that just makes me more scared now.
yeah but when that shit happens, it happens
I'm not worried as much about a plane crash, as I am (for some reason) terrified of the height. I'm going on a plane soon for the first time since I was a baby, and I'm scared (and excited) for takeoff. I watched a 360' veiw vr video of a plane takeoff to help, but now I'm just even more scared!
Edit: This video really helped, thank you!
WHAT?!?!?!?!
how the hell do u have only 543 subscribers u have such good quality videos and u definitely deserve more than that
Ohhhh by the way I subbed 😃😃😄😄
Now they have 665
Now 1.6k
I'm going on a flight in a couple of weeks. Even though its only two hours long, I'm still quite nervous. Thank you for this video, I'll be sure to watch it again before I board!
This is exactly what I needed I watch too many movies and shit
it’s not that I’m scared of flying but I’m scared of being cramped in a tiny compartment for hours. it drives my mind crazy. it gives me panic attacks. life of a cluster-phobic. 😔
Lil Sokz me too, I don’t know what to do about that. Did anyone solve this problem?
@@matt7232 First Class is your answer.
I have the same problem so I constantly get up and go to the bathroom just to get out of that cramped space
I'm going on a plane in 7 days, and I'm terrified of flying. I have been on multiple flights before, but as I got older, saw some cruel videos etc. I've created a fear from flying, such a shame, but this video really helped me, hope the 2+ hour trip is going to be alright - but my parents are talking about a dentist pill for me, to take the nerves off me, I feel like it's a drug.
How did that go? 🤣🤣
Yeah, something similar has happened to me. When i was a kid, teen or young adult, i love flying. Now that i`m in my 50's i really hate to fly. Probably its because now is very stressfull all the safety posts we have to go throught and waiting for hours in the gate before boarding. I remember flying was fun back in the day. Your friends and family members could walk you almost to the plane door. People could smoke, and drinks were free. Now is stresfull, expensive, with a lot of "safety" rules etc. And of course, watching all TV shi...tty programs about plane crashes and inefficient control tower staff.
ok this video kinda calmed me down a little since I've been (and still am) REALLY scared of flying and crashing and dying and stuff lol
I can’t lie man, this video helped my fear so much! I actually fly 3 to 4 times a year for vacation, and the only thing that was getting me through my fear was my love for my wife. I literally just got back from New York yesterday and it felt like the longest 4 hours of my life 😂 thank you so much!
