I read about a plane with Mike Pence aboard that skidded off of the runway at La Guardia airport. The plane was landing and overshot the runway and ended up stopping in a grassy area near the runway. So Mike Pence and the other 48 passengers we not injured.
Then I just read another story about a FedEx plane catching on fire and exploding at Fort Lauderdale airport on Friday. It said that the landing gear collapsed after it touched down sending the plane skidding down the runway before it caught on fire. And this happened on the same day that another plane in Chicago caught on fire and the passengers had to evacuate the plane. There was a video of people screaming and yelling at people to get out of the way.
I personally am already afraid of flying and I will be flying home soon for thanksgiving so this is all making me very nervous.
This is very terrifying to hear! Maybe these airlines should have inspections on their planes more often then they usually do to ensure the safety of their passengers. I heard in the news this past week that a pilot was arrested because he was flying the plane after having a little too much to drink! How crazy is that!?
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely scary to hear about but in reality, the number of plane crashes out of the number of flights that happen in a day is not high. I personally have flown a lot and just do my best to not think about what could happen because it really is a slim chance.

ReplyDeleteIt is hard to hear about plans going down etc, but unfortunately stuff like this can happen with a car too that we drive everyday. I fly a lot and try not to think about crashing but I also have to talk myself down when I am riding in a car with someone else. I do believe that we can do a better job with inspecting planes but sometimes shit happens with out our control.
