Maybe it’s a phobia for me. I know, statistically, it’s the safest way to travel. But I hate having no control over my fate. Plane improperly maintained causes the flight I’m on to crash into the mountains? No thanks. I know it’s extremely irrational but it is still terrifying to me.
This is why I refuse to fly. Just scandal and improper training and maintenance. It’s fucking dangerous.

I know a (retired) guy who used to be an engineer designing commercial airliners. He, too, categorically refused to fly.
Makes ya think.

But people die every day in cars due to somebody else’s actions and/or poor maintenance.
Place crashes are very memorable and flashy though.

Exactly
Wouldn’t it technically be a phobia of danger rather than risk?
