KentaTakahashi 0 Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I hear more flights cancel in UK and US because of security threat and worry. I am interested to know - are you worried about taking flight now, or just ignore it and do like normal? I must admit I will think about it if I go US. Link to post Share on other sites

Plucky 0 Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I have no worries at all. I mean, stuff could happen, but I'm not going to worry about it. I was in Las Vegas this past Christmas and there were the news reports about the Air France flights hitting the strip and so forth. I did get a bit tense when I heard planes close to the hotel - then I realized the airport was right there Nonetheless, the media took it a bit far. Shit, all 750,000 of us on vacation were so liquored up, we didn't mind Seriously, this whole mess the last three years has really screwed some travel plans up. We are all very lucky we are in Japan, in a country that accepts us. I know, I know, but it's not bad for being overseas, is it? Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 No. I got the shakes over summer though when we went through some turbulence for some reason, then we had to circle for 30 mins before coming in to land. Silly old me. Link to post Share on other sites
Ms Zoidberg 0 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I always have worried about flights, not becoz of terrorists, but becoz I don't like em. Link to post Share on other sites
MistaSparkle 0 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 You have a much better chance of getting hit by lightning in the basement of your house than being killed by terrorists on an airplane. Link to post Share on other sites
zebedee 1 Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 The whole concept of air travel freeks me out to be honest. I just try not to think about it when its happening. Link to post Share on other sites
dale#1 1 Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Apart from the long flights, I enjoy the experience of flying - mainly because I'm either going on holiday somewhere or back to see the family. Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderbird2 0 Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Not in the least bit. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I worry more about the cost and the terrible food... I saw the first episode of The Lone Gunmen last night (the three geek dudes from the X Files in their own series). Freaky story - terrorists wanting to fly a jumbo into the World Trade Center, visuals and all..... they averted the tragedy right at the last minute..... Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I don't worry. Like dale, I'm usually excited and happy to get on a plane and go on vacation. Link to post Share on other sites
KlingKlang 1 Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Nah. Not sure I'd be too keen to fly on flight 223 from London to Washington though Link to post Share on other sites
thelovelyjen 0 Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 I don't worry about it at all. If anything is going to happen, it'll happen. Nothing I can do, and the chances are sooo small. Thinking about it is just a waste of valuable time and energy. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I worry more about lugging my bags across Tokyo than anything else. I cannot understand at all how people can worry about terrorists. You have any idea how many flight aren't hijacked on a daily basis? Link to post Share on other sites
fukdane 2 Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Me too, and I worry about the bags getting lost. It has happened to me once and to my parents as well. Link to post Share on other sites
blinkin'ek 0 Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 I think that the people who will be concerned about terrorists will be the ones who are a bit scaredy-cat about flying in the first place - the terro thing is just another thing to make the whole experience a nightmare. I know someone who just will NOT fly - he'd take a ship for 3 days rather than a 6 hour flight. Link to post Share on other sites
merryJim 1 Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I'm flying over to California in early April on business, so really looking forward to that. Worried? Nah!. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 How's ya fancy being on that constantly cancelled London-Washington flight, enderzero? I'm not fussed generally but I might think twice about that one. Link to post Share on other sites
@tokyo 14 Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Worry? Not in the least. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 If I was flying form London to DC I would only worry about having my flight cancelled for some stupid reason. How many flights between London and DC don't get hi-jacked on a daily basis? Link to post Share on other sites
fantastic 0 Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 None, but it doesn't eliminate the "back of the mind" thoughts of the threats to them. Link to post Share on other sites
