Get a pilot's licence, learn to build planes, make your own and pray for good weather.

Chances of being killed in plane crash? One in 11 million.

Chances of being killed in car crash? One in 5000.

How often to planes have problems?
the answer is very rarely so just forget about terrorists etc.

haha how are you supposed to do that yourself!?

the whole idea of security checks on the passengers, and of safety checks to the plane is so that the plane will be safe.

at the end of the day, no matter what you think, you are still more likely to be killed on your way to the airport than in the plane.
it is the safest way to travel.

people are taking it way out of proportion - look at the ratio of planes getting hijacked and planes not getting hijacked, the odds of you getting on a plane that is hijacked is phenomenally long. get one the plane and relax! you're safe!

Just get on the plane. Flying is still far safer than car travel or a lot of other things.

Flight systems have endless backups almost every system on board an aircraft has at least 2 redundant systems that can back it if i goes down.

Also Aircraft Engineers are highly qualified. If you stick to a well known airline then there maintenance schedules are very good, however if you choose to fly on some of the cheaper carriers or Budget airlines then there Maintenance is not as strict as other carriers, and therefore they are the ones that jeopardise your flying experience.

u cant

thousands and thousands of flights take off and land everyday with millions of passengers worldwide. Odds are you are likely to get on a plane which is going to be safe than the opposite.

Just remember to belt up. It's the turbulences which may throw you onto the ceiling of the cabin and break your neck and back.

I am a pilot. Airplanes are very safe in America. There are thousands more car crashes than airplane crashes a year.

They are pretty much flying pieces of junk...The miles, fatigue and pressures put on them...Lack of maintenance to keep prices low....It's a wonder there are no more crashes than there are. No travel is safe..just pray its not your time to go....

You CAN'T. Just like you CAN'T make sure an escaped alligator isn't gonna get you as you walk out the front door, or a bus full of penguins isn't gonna mow you down as you cross the road...


EMAILSKIP
Before you board the plane go around and kick the tires and check the oil....it's just like a car only at 35,000 feet.

You can't!
Cross your fingers and your legs and fly, don't let these terrorist's win.
Life is a numbers game, so play the game and live your life without fear, just be cautious and vigilant in all the things you do.

This is the job of the pilots and the aircraft maintenance crew, and the airline company professionalism to ensure that it is safe for you in the first place.

Doesn't the same question apply when you get in a car or on a bus or train or even cross the road. beleive it or not flying is still the safest way to travel.
