boomvoom2000 asked:

I know that the risk of being in a plane crash is much lower than the risk of being in a car crash. I was just curious if the risk for a steward or stewardess being in a plane crash was still lower (than being in a car crash).
If nobody knows how to answer, does anybody know where I could find out such a statistic?

There is another air crash in US. Is riding a plane safe? Is there a way to go from China to US other than by air?
There is another air crash in US. Is riding a plane safe? Is there a way to go from China to US other than by air? Why not bring paragliders on the plane? In case of emergency, you can jump out.

LuckyLady asked:

The news of recent plane crashes (Air France Airbus 330 and US Airways 1549 ) have me thinking, What should I do If I’m on a flight that crashes?

I pay attention to the in flight demonstration of course, but is there anything else I can do to increase my chances of survival?

Ranee B asked:

Our chins will be at a pet sitters for 10 day then they will fly from Germany to Penn. and will be changing planes. They will be living in a new cage while living in Penn. for two weeks then will take another plane and will have to change planes again before their final destination. I am worried this will be too stressful on our chins. Would they be safe or should we fine a nice home for them in Germany?

Is it better to crash into water or land for a plane crash?

Guido asked:

I always thought water was certain death as water becomes very hard upon impact, but the recent crash in New York where the plane survived in one piece made me wonder if water landings are safer. I was also told pilots don’t train for water landings because there isn’t much chance to survive. Kinda a pointless question I know, but I’m just curious.

Would you still fly on planes if one 747 sized plane crashed and 200 people died EVERY DAY?

Holtane Canbass asked:

A commercial jet crashes about once every fortnight now, sometimes more often. Commercial air traffic is growing rapidly. Soon one will crash every day. Would you still fly on jetliners if one 747 sized plane crashed and was reported on the news headlines everyday killing ~200 people? This would still mean a low fatality ratio.
