I enjoy spending some of my time helping peopel that have a fear of flying. Often on Twitter I see someone, a complete stranger, ask a question about flying because they are scared or just express an intense fear, and I reach out to them...I tell them to call me or email me and we teach them a thing or two to hopefully make them feel better.
When a friend of mine expresses the same concern, I do the exact opposite.
One friend is non-revving to Japan next month:
Aviation aside....Her: pretty sure its the biggest plane I've ever been on too
Derner, Phillip: what airline?
Her: Delta
Derner, Phillip: whoa....747-400! lucky ****
Her: im kinda scared lol. like, it holds more people then i know.. hah
Derner, Phillip: you should be, those are too heavy to fly. you probably wont make it off the runway. their takeoffs NEVER work out.
Her: :(
Derner, Phillip: go on google earth...you can look at jfk and see the pile of them at the end of the runway.
Her: shutup lol. IM SERIOUS HERE AND YOU'RE JUST ADDING TO MY ANXIETY
I'm a great friend.Her: IM REALLY EXCITED BUT ALSO TERRIFIED and then theres also the earthquakes/ volcanos in Japan.
Derner, Phillip: you should be more worried about nuclear attack. japan's had more than any other country
