Ya'll Scared Of Flying Yet? - Tuesday!

⏱ Estimated Read Time: 3 minutes

Yo, what is good, guys? If you weren’t afraid of flying before, this year might not be the year you want to fly. There seem to be so many freaking plane incidents, or at least there’s a lot more reporting on them.

There was a Delta flight incident last night at Pearson, which is the local airport here. Freaking plane flipped over! It’s miraculous. I don’t know if you guys saw the clip of the plane; the actual incident looked a lot worse than what happened, where no one died, apparently. That’s what I’m reading. I know about people injured; if they’re going to have long-lasting injuries, they said 18 injured was the latest count, but a lot of people were walking around fine. So, I always put that seat belt on, man.

This has got to be stressful, though, if you’re flying anywhere like these next few weeks. You’re just like, holy, I’m rolling the dice here! Because with a helicopter airline crash with the military not too long ago, we’re hearing about all the fender benders. And then I have a buddy who works in aviation. He’s like, ‘Yo, honestly, man, this isn’t surprising, not because he’s like, the number of fender benders that happened at airports,’ he’s like, ‘it’s in the thousands. They just don’t report on them like they’re reporting on them now,’ which I guess everyone’s now keenly in tune to everything going on in this sector just because of all the budget cuts and stuff happening, but it’s insane.

I’ve never been a fearful flyer. I hope I don’t think that’s going to change yet. I don’t even get stressed usually because I have so much media with me, but now it’s something that I’m going to constantly be thinking about, I think a little bit. But I have a few friends affected by this flight disaster thing where their flights got detoured or flights got canceled. So, talking to them, they’re just like… one of the funny ones was we had friends who were in the air when it happened, and they’re like, ‘Yo, what’s going on? Our flight’s just been circling the airport, not landing.’ And then they found, and they’re like, ‘no one’s telling us anything,’ but because of in-flight texting, they were able to figure out what happened. I’m like, ‘Yo, you guys are the ones who are going to create a panic by announcing it to the other passengers.’ And like, ‘No, no, no.’

Yo, this is stressful. Oh, is it back to train? Do we need to get… why don’t we have speed train here or speed rail? I guess it doesn’t help with vacations because there’s not like you can speed rail to Europe or Mexico, although speed rail to Mexico would be clutch. Speed rail across Canada would be, or at least across Ontario to Montreal would be clutch. If they could connect Canada wide, that would be sick, dude. But not in this lifetime, at least.

But how are y’all feeling? Are you guys comfortable still, or are you guys be double-guessing your flights? What’s going on in your heads? Anyways, it’s a little chilly today. I’m going to get inside. Till next one, peace.

Ai Header Image Prompt: An intricate, high-detail abstract digital art image. The composition evokes the unsettling feeling of a severe aviation incident, through highly stylized fragmentation and distortion. Dominant elements include abstract, fractured geometric forms that subtly suggest the silhouette of an airplane, appearing to tilt or break apart amidst chaotic energy. Swirling, sharp-edged digital brushstrokes and glitch-art effects emanate from and surround these forms, creating a sense of turbulent motion and instability. The color palette is a moody blend of deep, ominous blues, dark greys, and blacks, sharply contrasted by electric cyan, distressed crimson, and stark white lines, representing flashes of alarm and digital noise. The style is reminiscent of complex vector art or fractal patterns, designed to be visually impactful and conceptually abstract, without any overt AI aesthetics or recognizable human figures.
