What are the chances of the plane going down over the pacific?

I'm just wondering what are the chances of the plane going down. My family and me had plans to go to the Philippines, then I watched snakes on a plane and got scared.|||1 in 440,951





watch the special feature on Final Destination 3. its the one that looks like a cartoon|||ZERO...planes can only go down Under the pacific....


they can't be under and over at the same time!!!|||Little to none|||Well as long as your pilot hasnt had anything to drink and someone isnt smuggling snakes I think you chances are 99% good|||The odds are that you have more chance of being run over!|||Your chances of being involved in an aircraft accident are about 1 in 11 million. On the other hand, your chances of being killed in an automobile accident are 1 in 5000. Statistically, you are at far greater risk driving to the airport than getting on an airplane. However, the perception is that you have more control over your fate when you are in your car than as a passenger traveling on an airplane. Experience shows otherwise, considering that over 50,000 people are killed on the highways every year. Media coverage would suggest that airline crashes happen every day. Studies have shown one would have to fly once a day every day for over 15,000 years in order to statistically be involved in an aircraft accident"


Flying is very very safe. Dont worry about terroists that is the least likely thing to go wrong on a commercial flight in the US these days. Flying in the United States is very safe, there has not been a major airline crash in the US since November of 2001! That is a long time for no major crashes and only on fatality in the last seven years for the Major Airlines in the US.


Even when there is a problem on an airplane, if an engine fails on takeoff or an engine fire etc.. 99% of the time the plane lands safely. Planes these days are amazing piece of technology and the pilots are trained better than ever. If you not afraid to drive in a car you should not be afraid to fly in a plane.


Just sit back relax and try to enjoy the flight. Its one of the safest things you can do much safer than driving a car, walking down the street, or even sleeping in your house. More people have died on North American highways in the year 2006 than the amount of people who have died in powered flight aviation whole 104 year history!
