no one talking about the other helicopter pilot reporting the collision. his reaction gave me chills. the fact that they're forced to record moments like this because it's their job is so tragic. those men were probably their friends.

[@anonymousopinion228]

You can tell her he was having a panic attack and then he proceeds to say one of their names. They were 100 percent friends or at least close colleges, even working at different stations. It's very sad they had to stay rolling.

[@yunochiii]

The one with the helicopter news channels is so heartbreaking. Especially when you hear the one guy also covering it going … I think it was Scott…” Like imagine how awful and terrified for his friend he must’ve felt and having to see it happen right before him? What an awful blow to those victims families and friends.

[@lynnkayee1015]

What gets me is when the blonde anchor woman is saying they don't know what is happening...you can hear a terrified/pained scream from the commentator in the helicopter.

[@AliCat222]

However, one contestant in the unaired second season (S02E09) did answer all 21 questions truthfully to win the top prize. The contestant was Melanie Williams, a member of a secretive polygamist group. Most of the questions centered around the secrets of polygamy and what took place in the group in which Williams was a member. For $500,000, Williams' final question was whether she believed her father had sexual relations as an adult with a minor. She said she felt he did, and the lie detector determined her truthful for the grand prize.-so yes there was a worse moment then the cheating one just so you know for moment of Truth

are we not gonna talk about how childrens channels broadcasted that shit and millions of kids were left fucked up in the head forever? WHO THE FUCK IS LIKE "oh okay lets broadcast a police standoff to a bunch of 12 year olds!" ???????????????

[@TimberlakeTigerGirl]

I was 6 years old when 9/11 happened. I remember my parents telling me that someone got the brilliant idea of having all the kids watch the news feed of the planes hitting the towers, people jumping to their deaths and the towers collapsing. My mom and literally all the parents were notified to come pick their kids up because, understandably, we were starting to freak out and they had to cancel school for the day. Mom said when she picked us up my older sister was in tears and I was in straight up shock; not responding to anything. As soon as we got home mom told us both to go to our rooms and not come out until she said so. I remember hearing my dad being so angry he was swearing up a storm and was just yelling at the TV non stop when he got home from work.

[@pillowvibes]

[@jhanks2012]

FUN FACT: there was ZERO evidence that guy had a dog in that vehicle. this is VERY common practice. they make false add-on accusations that they know can never be proven or disproven, to taint someone's public image. if the guy had tried to raise awareness about the corrupt healthcare system and then killed himself, people would look to him as a hero and a martyr and agree with him wholeheartedly. case in point: watch chat agreeing with the man up to the exact point where they mentioned the dog, then chat instantly did a 180 and were against him and everything he was doing. THAT is exactly why they do it.

[@gassug2]

even if there was a dog in the car i dont think that makes his situation any less tragic. obviously there would have been better ways to go about that than killing your dog, but given that he was clearly driven by rage against the system and had nothing to lose, he likely wasn't even thinking that clearly. really is interesting seeing how people fall for social engineering schemes like that. granted there was no evidence that there _wasn't_ a dog in the car. but as you say, it's a common practice to lie about details like that. it irks me when people think black and white morally in situations like this

[@allisoncastle]

Oh my god this is so scary to think about…

[@bluetiger2468]

The reason why I fear planes more than cars is at least I'm driving the car, if I crash, it's my fault. Or if someone crashes into me, at least maybe I can swerve out of the way to minimize my injuries. If you're in a plane that's going to crash, you're not in control, there is literally nothing you can do. It's a helpless/unfair feeling. What makes it worse is 80% of plane crashes are due to human error. There is a high chance that your life is dependent on an overworked pilot undoing a mistake they made, or they have to solve a mistake that the air traffic controllers/mechanics made.

[@pintolerance785]

And on the road you have have to deal with the decisions made by inexperienced drivers, drunk drivers, dumb drivers, bad drivers, road rage drivers. Literally anybody can drive a car: Pilots, Mechanics, Air Ttaffic controllers, go to school for years to do their jobs, and the stats show which is more dangerous since car accidents are like top 3 ways to die. 1 out of 6 people or something like that will die from car accidents. I'm taking flying over driving any day.

[@KingOfGaymes]

There’s a chance to survive a car crash but usually if a plane crashes.. you’re dead 💀

[@UnkownWonders]

Your survive rate is higher on a plane then a car. Even if you take the examples if someone crashing into you with a car as minor as you explained it to be is far from the reality and just a wishful thinking you have to ease your mind. If a drunk driver which is mostly the reason why a car crashes into you, you won't survive it since they mostly tend to drive in a very high speed only if you have insane luck you might survive in a highly critical condition. Edit: a plane crashing is more rare then you getting into 3 car accidents that are fatal

[@UnkownWonders]

​@@KingOfGaymesnot always fatal since water crashes are a thing too in plane crashes

[@bloodyneptune]

@UnkownWonders Its not that it _is_ safer, its just the illusion on control making it _feel_ safer

[@lynnkayee1015]

About the helicopter crash - the pilots were also the reporter/commentators. So they had to 1) keep in touch w/ the station & other helicopters 2) fly the helicopter and 3) make comments on what was happening below them. Absolute insanity! Accident waiting to happen. Stations around the country changed how they report/film chases now. The most commonly adopted solution was for stations to pitch in money to share a helicopter (so everyone gets the best shot and they don't have to get so close, since this started when cameras weren't as advanced) and the news reporters IN THE STATION provide commentary.

[@syrenking]

I always thought that people are less scared of car crashes is because it gives you an illusion of control, like when people say "oh that wont happen to me i am good at driving" But on planes you put trust on someone else that you can't see during the flight making decissions

[@allexmussen9107]

Hearing the guy calling for the air crash is so sad. He sounds like hes in shock :(

[@krrr.4902]

That peepee poopoo made me feel so welcomed ❤ thank you for your kind words!

[@mrs.t2932]

I still remember the dread I felt when I seen the second plane fly into the tower and realize that this was on purpose. I seen it live on the news. I just remember being so upset. And how helpless I felt cause I wish I could have been in New York to help people. But just realizing that a lot of people are dying in those moments. I can't imagine deciding to jump or burn to death. That still messes with my mind.

[@UnkownWonders]

You don't have to live with the guilt, even if you were there at the time it happened you couldn't have done shit either about it. It was a inevitable fate no one could've easily escape from even if you were there to try help it would've changed nothing on the outcome

[@mrs.t2932]

@technobae4943 you are correct. One of the worst feelings you can have is is being helpless. I'm sure that's how everyone felt. Especially the ones there. Even though the world is going crazy right now. I still love people. I want to help everyone. But really I understand I can only control myself. But I make sure to be there for others as much as I can. Actually in our chapter in history. That day was the day that set an array of things in motion. The World always had a dark side. But that day imo set the course for where we are today. Thank you for the response. And I hope all is well with you and your Family.

[@williamhardee8863]

People who burn themselves alive in protest don’t do it to show business men the error of their ways, it’s to show the people that you’re so distraught over this and so dedicated that you’re willing to make yourself suffer to send a message, and they’re hoping the people see what they did and realize something needs to change. I’m not sure if it’s ever actually worked though.

[@mythosinmediagaming]

You got it, you can survive car crashes. Most people do. While plane crashes, you assume everyone died, and you're most likely right. Plane crashes happen rarely but in most cases everyone dies.

[@ryantheironspiderofficial4663]

The fact that pig in the entire chat was like no not the dog. I also was like oh no not the puppy. It just shows that people get really upset when something bad happens to animals

[@IWantToPetYourDog]

It seems more sad when an animal gets hurt because they can't help themselves. A dog can bark to warn you about an electrical fire, but they can't do something about it.

[@JustAnOldStone]

Car crashes are quick, kinda in and out and then it's done and it's only the aftermath. Most people in a car crash don't even recall HOW it happened. In an airplane, you have a good 2-5 minutes of *solid awareness of your impending, horrible demise* .

[@nateriver2711]

I think ppl need to normalize fear of driving, nothing is natural about it and the crashes can be horrific. Doesn’t matter if you’re the world’s best driver, some dumbass can ruin your life forever. Planes are very safe when compared to cars, but there’s a reason why your brain is like “we shouldn’t be doing this” lol.

[@mrs.t2932]

This past July i seen a Man on a Motorcycle get hit by a car. Flys in the air lands on his back and cracks his head. Everyone started to record. I started CPR.

Its crazy how a split second can change everything.

[@KingOfGaymes]

And the news showed it live. They didn't have a delay for some reason. But yeah that was crazy too.

[@TheGrossDemon]

The way i see it, plane crashes are more horrifying. Car crashs happen and are typically over in an instant, planes dont just run into stuff in the sky. Plus your plane could go down anywhere, so even if you survive theres no saying youll be found. Plus how often are you in a car crash and would have to watch your vehicle falling apart around you the way planes can?

[@UnkownWonders]

4x more often then a plane crash

[@NIKNAK1]

I beg to differ…. I was a first responder…. And my cousin died in a plane crash….. she never felt a thing it happened so fast…. But the car accidents ive seen…..? burning alive in a car….. getting cut in half by a guard rail on Christmas Eve….. I mean….. personally I’d rather die in a place crash 100% more terrified of dying in a car accident…. You haven’t seen the things I’ve seen….many suffered for hours before passing away in the hospital….. most plane crashes MOST! Are very definite…. Yes people do suffer of course with any accident but chances are a plane crash is going to be a much quicker death….

[@NIKNAK1]

If the plane is falling apart around you you wont be watching it for more than a matter of minutes getting sucked out of a plane is a blessing compared to some of the car crashes I’ve seen….just be thankful that you haven’t had to know what either of them can truly cause…. just be thankful to be alive

[@UnkownWonders]

@@NIKNAK1 true oh so true, especially if you take into consideration how much oil splatter from frying already hurts like hell when it touches your skin. It would be the same pain but on your entire body ×3 with the car crash that can sadly happen more commonly thanks to drunk drivers and speeders where the car gets set ablaze cooking you. Not to mention that for a reason people told us as a kid not to play around broken glass or step on it, now to also combine the glass rammed into your face or impaling you this is some type of hellish pain i would never want to experience i rather die in a plane crash then going through that pain

[@IWantToPetYourDog]

Or the Chris Benoit one? Even though that was horrible, he didn't kill his dogs.

[@jhanks2012]

I'm pretty sure he didn't have a dog. cops use this tactic all the time. in fact they teach it. they add on these heinous accusations that can neither be proven or disproven, when they need to taint the subject's public image. usually it's done when there is a fear that the public will take the subject's side. watch how chat is originally 100% in agreement with the man about his message, then as SOON as the dog is mentioned the chat is instantly turned against him. that is the tactic i'm describing being put to work. the man instantly went from being a martyr with a wholesome message to the public about the corrupt healthcare system, to a deranged lunatic animal abuser who people hated and then they connect his message about healthcare system being corrupt to one of hate .... and all by one little accusation of "there was a dog in that vehicle too, but there's no evidence because it was all burnt up, you just have to believe us ..." there was lots of planning that lots of rich companies did before they decided to make this particular accusation and spin the story in their favor. they had to. for the shareholders. it's like right up the road from me the police did a no-knock no-warrant raid in the middle of the night against one of my neighbors. the headlines mentioned he was "charged" with counts of having explosives AND counts of child pornography ... like who is actually doing both of those things simultaneously? highly unlikely if you ask me. and there is never any mention later on if the charges were dismissed or not. which tells you for certain that they were in fact dismissed, because if they were convicted of both those charges we would certainly have heard about it. unless you can point to a single frame that decisively shows a dog in that vehicle then i am wrong about this particular case. i watched and rewatched it and can see no dog at all.

[@scramblemindjumble]

[@tessagray7899]

I find that for me I find flying to be scarier than driving or riding in a car because, in a car, I at least have some semblance of the feeling of control, but on an airplane, I wouldn't even know or understand why we are going down, and I will know that there is nothing that I can do

[@UnkownWonders]

Same can be applied for car rides, if a drunk driver or someone who speeds happens to come towards you, you can't do shit and have no control too

Yeah that's the cameraman's last scream before impact, and yeah that sound has haunted me ever since I first heard it. Deaths like that will never stop being horrific to me - the fact that one second you're hearing a living human being with a personality and opinions and hopes and dreams and the next second or two they're dead ... the fact life can end that fast (even faster actually, sometimes in less time than it takes to blink) freaks me out in a way I just can't quite explain properly.

Was about to say that same thing, yes that was his scream, I think though throughout the crash there were at least two.

[@Skelet0nCatBlake]

18:26 dude literally starts having a panic attack because that’s gotta be so damn traumatic

[@diamondl.5032]

2:38 I honestly think that the reason most people are more scared of Airplanes than of Cars, is because Cars are more grounded in ''common gravity'' - (as I call it) - compared to Airplanes. As in: We humans are USED to having gravity pull us down while driving than if we're in the sky, on an Airplane. Cuz' the gravity up THERE, is waaaay more dense and adds a more ''gravitational pull'' to a person towards the Earth, than it does when we're ALREADY on the ground, in a Car. Due to, the more you go up, the greater the pressure is on your body to go back down towards the Earth! ESPECIALLY when you're up there and you're flying from THOUSANDS of feet in the air! So. Imagine you're up in an Airplane and all of a sudden, the Airplane is FALLING OUT OF THE SKY? You're DEFINITELY gonna feel a large amount of pressure on your body, from gravity pulling it down so fast! It'll feel unnatural, very confusing and you'll start to panic IMMEDIATELY because of it! ((Not to mention, the ''Horror Stories'' people tell you about flying will DEFINITELY keep you more alert and on your toes if anything goes wrong, wrost case scenario... But on the downside, you'll start to get paranoid and get really nervous because of this,😊 as well...))

[@AdmiralUnterhose]

The reason plane crashes are so terrifying is because 95% of the time, even if you survive the crash, you'll be stranded and left with nothing. In car crashes, at least there's this lingering feeling that someone might find you or that help will arrive in a timely manner. After a plane crash, you're pretty much disconnected from civilization in most cases, to the point where you subconciously know that help won't arrive for hours or maybe even days.

[@-desertpackrat]

"just stay inside" yeah I usually do but the thing is, people crash cars into houses, walk into houses and kill everyone inside for no reason because they're on meth, drive by and shoot at your house (happened next door when I was a toddler and my parents moved their bed from the front to the back of the house after that). And on top of that, I live directly under the flight path for landing jets at the air force base, and they like to train flying ospreys, not sure why since those were discontinued and never used in ANY application except to train pilots over residential areas.. why were they discontinued? They're extremely easy to crash. So I'm more likely to die here in my house than anywhere else lol, all it is is a wood frame covered in an inch of drywall and plaster, a big enough guy could just punch through the wall like the Terminator, even our locks are mostly just for peace of mind, they wouldn't do shit.

[@GreebleClown]

16:54 If I remember my history of broadcasting class correctly, at this time the helicopter pilot was also the reporter. So with the cameraman and the reporter both focusing on the action on the ground there was no one left to focus on what was happening in the air around them. This is what changed that so there was now a requirement that there be a separate pilot whose only job was flying the helicopter and communicating with any other helicopters in the area so they don’t crash into anything, especially each other.

[@SpiderRiderKya]

Honestly, plane crashes are more terrifying than car crashes cause, just cause a car hits something doesn't mean you'll die, there's plenty of ways and severities of car crashes, so people survive them a lot; but plane crashes, those are almost always devastating b/c it's a giant machine FALLING FROM THE SKY. A car and slow down or swerve and do any number of things to try and lessen the impact. But you, can't avoid the ground in a plane crash. Gravity will win. And plane/helicopter crashes being nearly always fatal is probably why you hear about them more than car crashes. A car crashes and you can survive it, or have a better chance of it. But a plane? Barring some very lucky instances (like the plane crashing before it picked up speed/got into the air), a plane crashing is devastating.

THE SHOW IS DEFINITELY THE ONE TO BLAME BUT honestly what i dont understand is what did she expect gonna happen? even if the tragedy would not happen but the guy wouldve hurt her either way, you cant just humiliate someone do horrible things behind that persons back and then make fun of that person on live television so you get money and expect nothing bad to happen???, she was dumb for ever applying for the show her secret was too horrible (but i blame the show more for preying on these people like she only got selected because her lies were juicy enough but how did nobody in this story think that if that guy find all this out he might go crazy and kill her nah we gotta make those views who cares F that show) (and dont get me wrong what the bf did is stil horrible and he deserve the jail time but somehow indirectly it really is not his fault, basically that woman ruined his whole life and he ruined hers karma, but stil i blame him because no matter how mad he got how ruined and embarrassed he felt that is stil not means he can do a crime, he handled it poorly, but you must think about it that if he would not date that cheater woman and not find out the truth over live television maybe he wouldve not became a killer and she would be stil alive unless he have a history of being aggressive and shitty then he deserve even more to rot in jail) but in cases like this you need to look at the layers and not just look for a simple yes or no answer, basically everyone involved in that story and that family were horrible people

7:35 as soon as i saw the word "police pursuit" i got ptsd coming back to me as i know what that exactly is. God forbid that day that happen on live television. I cannot be in a helicopter after seeing that live feed when i was still a kid. Hell i still have nightmares every time i though about it. Sad to know a simple distraction would lead to several lives being lost in the air... :(

[@lunaterra253]

Logically thinking, it might be because you dont necessarily have the time between knowing whats going to happen and your car crashing where as when you're up in the air you have all that time to process whats happening

I think the fear of planes vs cars is about our ability to survive. With cars we have some sense of control, to avoid a crash, to potentially lose the car, but survive. With planes there is absolutely nothing you can do.

[@GreebleClown]

3:18 Id say it’s because of the rarity of plane crashes and the fact that since plane are so much bigger the wreak is more dramatic. Also, while you can have up to a handful of people injured or killed in a car crash a (passenger) plane crash can injure or kill way more.

[@HistorianOfVaelris]

I think a major reason why plane crashes are more scary is that the odds of surviving a plane crash are much lower than the odds of surviving a car crash. In most cases, everyone or nearly everyone on the plane dies. The only vehicle type with a lower accident survival rate, to my knowledge, is submarines.

[@ashleycarusi3696]

I think plane crashes are a big deal because it’s a mass amount of people who all usually meet very graphic and horrifying deaths. Many also survive the initial impact and die while waiting for first responders to show up. I think we also think about the fear the passengers felt while the plane was going down, if it didn’t explode in air.

[@tunacharm]

i think part of what makes airplanes so much scarier compared to cars is how unnatural it feels. even though you're way more likely to die in a car accident than a plane crash, airplanes are unfamiliar to most people. with driving being such a big part of many people's lives, they are used to it and the danger that comes with it. they are used to tires on a road, but not incredibly large and complex tubes flying through the sky at high speeds and altitudes. the average person does not get on a flight nearly as often as they get into a road vehicle. and yes, the sensationalism of airplane crashes definitely contributes to the collective fear. it also worth it to note that a lot of the worst (and most memorable) airplane crashes are not two or three people, it's 70 or 100 or more. they end in huge fireballs that leave streaks on the sides of mountains, or leave nothing behind at all, maybe some debris on a faraway beach years later or a plane shaped blob on a radar scan of the ocean floor. the amount of information and evidence (or lack of) following a plane crash can leave nothing or everything to the imagination. recent events with boeing and the general quality decrease in products due to capitalism probably hasn't helped much either.

[@TangerinoXD]

The difference between a plane crash and a car crash is that a plane is thousands of feet in the air, and if your travelling internationally theres a high chance its above an ocean/large body of water.

[@VoidNuzzle]

I miss the MR BALLEN videos

[@d3vilhunt3r86]

I remember something similar happened when I was a kid. It might of been the same situation as I was about 7 and lived an hour east from LA at the time. But I could of sworn there was a guy I remember the news people saying he had cancer, I don't remember if he caught the on fire or not but they were suggesting the dog had jumped out the truck before it was taken over but then he killed him self. I also lived in the Phoenix area a year after the news crews collided. They have a monument to their memories in the spot at the Indian School Road park where they crashed.

[@d3vilhunt3r86]

I also remember watching the WWE Chris stuff... such a sad day... especially since they wouldnt put him into the hall of Fame because of what he did, murder. Sad day with what happened to the blue blazer aka Owen heart too.

[@jeshurunsilva3860]

The guy that set himself and the dog on fire, if he was as thought out as he was I take it as a sign. We humans rely on the health care system only for them to neglect us or inevitably end us. He was the health care and the dog was him. He took an innocent life knowing it would anger people, anger them as much as he was angered by the neglect towards him

[@NIKNAK1]

My cousin died in a plane crash…. it was a Saturday the Saturday before she had gotten married…. They got plane ride tickets for a wedding gift her husband went the day before because they flipped a coin to see who would go first because only one could go at a time…. Her parents were there her husband was recording… he recorded her getting on the plane… her in the plane….. and then the crash….. it was at an air show…. What blew my mind besides the event itself… was that it was before the air show started that day… and they had the scene cleaned up in less than an hour… the air show went on and most weren’t even aware that something happened… this was in June 2001…. And we all know what happened in September 2001…9/11….that year is why I’m terrified of flying….

[@NIKNAK1]

He ended up getting remarried not too long later….his new wife wore her wedding dress in their wedding… to me I find that extremely inappropriate it was Sarah’s moms suggestion…. As his new wife personally I would never…. But he’s still a part of our family….. I think it was a way for her to better cope with the loss of her daughter…. She was only 22yrs old…. It’s also proof that when its your time it’s your time… there’s a reason for everything

I remember when Benoit died. A friend of my parents came over that night and he mentioned it to me because he knew I was a wrestling fan. Finding out what actually happened like a week later felt insane and it was the first time I ever heard of family annihilators. Still creeps me out to this day. I don't get why people like doing high impact sports either when things like that can do so much damage to the brain and cause things like that to happen.

[@ZebraGirl97]

I think that the reason we don't have as much fear & anxiety about car crashes as we do with plane crashes is because when it's with cars, we have either more control or at least the illusion of more control. We are either the driver, in which case we know there's usually something we can do to prevent or avoid an accident. Or, we are a passenger, and The majority of the time, we are familiar with the person driving, with a few exceptions. We can know either from prior experience or within a few minutes of driving with them if they are a decent driver, how many safety guidelines or driving laws they follow versus ignore. We can even talk to them if something they do causes anxiety or if they're driving dangerously, although of course that doesn't mean they'll listen. Basically, we can see them driving, see where we're going and what's going on around us, so that even if we technically don't have much control of the vehicle as a passenger, there's the illusion that we have more control. Compare this to a plane, where not only can we not see the pilot and most of the time cannot see much around us besides the sky or clouds or the earth far below us, we can't see what's ahead of us that we're flying into, we can't predict/notice turbulence like we would a speed bump or pothole in a car. Even more, we don't even understand (at least anyone who isn't a pilot doesn't understand) the mechanics of how the plane actually flies, how piloting the plane works, who our pilot is, what their qualifications are, whether they're a good pilot or not, if they're following safety rules and laws are not. Not only do we not have control but we don't even really have an awareness of what's going on around us and with the "driver" (pilot). If something goes wrong, we also don't have any way to escape. Sure, jumping out of a moving vehicle if it's even moderate speeds is not a viable option, But at least if your car is on fire or is it a dangerous position due to an accident, you can climb out and walk away assuming you aren't trapped or injured. Can't do that with a plane. It plays on people's sense of helplessness. And two last things - there's also the fact that while plane crashes are exponentially less common than car crashes, when a plane has a major issue and crashes your chances of surviving are exceedingly slim. It's not uncommon for a handful of people to survive out of a flight of dozens or even hundreds of people. Car crashes are definitely serious and kill a lot of people, but statistically most car crashes don't kill people and many don't even seriously injure people. The last thing, it's also frightening to think that loved ones and those responsible for flight safety might never know what happened to us, or even find our bodies. A lot of flights that crash, we can hypothesize about what happened, but even with thorough investigations often there are questions that remain and sometimes there's not even enough evidence to sort out what even caused the accident. Sometimes the plane is never even found if it lands in the ocean or the middle of a dense forest or mountain, it's not rare for people's bodies to never be recovered. That can happen with car crashes, if it say sank into the ocean or something, but it's definitely not common. You can usually rest assured that if you die in a car crash your family will at least know what happened in almost all cases. Anyway, that's just my thoughts, interested to know what other people think.

[@katsukirenka1629]

5 months late but thought I'd weigh in one the fear of flying discussion. I think other people mentioned that when we are passengers in a plane, we don't have any control over what's happening. That's absolutely part of it. Hell, when a lot of these crashes occur, even the pilots don't have control. That's terrifying. I grew up flying - my mum flew when she was pregnant with me (early days, no dangers) and I would have taken multiple flights before I was even a year old. My brothers were the same (they actually got airlifted at only a few hours old so they win). Here's where my specific fear comes in - I'm not American, but 9/11 affected a lot of people. I was only around five years old but I vaguely remember being told about it in school and it was always on the tv, even in a foreign country. My mum tells me that that's when I started being scared of flying. I have to wonder if other people around my age were affected - old enough to understand what had happened but young enough to not really remember it properly. It's interesting though because my younger brothers never had the same fear. It probably didn't help that my dad loves the show Air Crash Investigation and I remember that playing through my childhood as well. That being said, it's one of my favourite shows now and I find it strangely comforting. There's definitely something to be said about plane crashes being over reported, but that's also because of how rare they are and that, when they do happen, there's a huge loss of life. I'm still a nervous flyer but I find different ways to keep myself calm - I sit within five rows of an exit if I can, I distract myself with music or films or other activities, always keep my seatbelt on, and I watch the flight attendants. If the flight attendants are calm, I'm calm. Of course none of this would matter if an extreme event occurred with no warning, but I can't control that and I can only hope that it would be quick. If there's one thing that is hard for humans to accept and deal with, it's not being in control.

Daniel Jones story has stuck with me for years, it’s one of the things I think about especially with stuff like the CEO assassination and people speaking up about HMO’s, insurance and healthcare toying with their health and lives. Daniel’s in real life friends hardly knew about his health issues, he complained about suffering as a result of his symptoms and hardly got help when calling his provider with dealing with a cancer growth on his neck. I disagree with Pig and chat dunking on Daniel, I don’t believe his dog should’ve been brought with him as a dog owner myself. I couldn’t bring myself to bring my dog down with me but also I’ve lost people in my life due to them trying to end their suffering, they aren’t rational and often just don’t want to die alone. I had one incident with my elderly neighbor trying to get my dad in contact and not wanting to be alone before he lit himself on fire. People suffering like this, you never know what drastic things they’ll do when they feel helpless or tired of living. I wish Daniel didn’t have to feel like this was the only way, but he was right that healthcare doesn’t care about your lives unless it benefits their pocket. Please, check up and reach out to your friends and family. 🙁
