A question about people who refuse to travel by plane. Is it because of 9/11?

Totally agree with you, man. I love to fly and wish I could do it more often. These people need to meet with a psychiatrist who is an expert in dealing with fear. Some people are afraid to fly due to the possibility of being in an (infrequent) plane crash (crashing into a mountain, field, water, whatever, though you have a better chance of surviving a car crash) but the people worried about 9/11 need some kind of reassurance that history will not repeat itself, though security can be a bloody pain.

i have been flying since i was 2 months old and am still terrified of it. I have complete panic attacks and cant handle it...i have traveled a lot and since 9-11 my fear has only trippled some people are terrified but i am trying not to let fear ruin my life or hold me back. 9-11 has definatly set me back but i am trying to move on. Remeber some of the people who are scared of 9-11 had family members killed in the attacks we have harder times moving on...so be a little sympathetic will yah

no.. i dont think 9/11 could have done so.. if someone refuses to travel by plane its prolly becuz of some other fear!

I think that 911 and airport security has had it effects. I am not comfortable with flying and their-fore do not fly unless I just have to. I have a fear of flying and wish that I didn't.I think flying like so many things depends on the person.

oyeah

i think so , but we must care of any dangerous n not our imagine

Personally after 9/11 i vowed to myself that i would never get on a plane, but one day i hope my opinion can change.
I want to go to Barcelona, Europe on day!!

no. on the contrary there is an increase in demand for tickets to fly!

You have raised several issues.
a) There are people who have always been afraid to fly and now are even more afraid.
b) Suggesting 9/11 can't happen again is too optimistic. I don't believe the security is up to scratch particularly on domestic routes.
c) People who put down flying because of the dangers and their paranoia are to be respected, just like those who believe flying is again safe.
d) I too love flying.
e) You fly in air-planes, or aeroplanes.
f) A plane is what a carpenters use.
