Well you may have been listening to different news feeds than I have been - Sky and the BBC. Apart from a few neighbours mentionind depression, there has been nothing reported that indicates he was not totally cleared to fly. I am not a keen flyer at the best of times, although planes are very safe these days, nothing is proof against everything, including pilots misinterpreting increasingly complex automated plane controls. But if you add into the mix pilots bent on self-destruction/murder, it becomes even less appealing. I think what frightens me is that although car travel is less safe, at least you have a chance sometimes - not always obviously - of getting out of a tricky situation, I have a number of times. In a plane you have no control, you are totally at the mercy of those checking the airworthiness of the plane and the pilot's competence/sanity. |
