My amazing idea....

[tom77]

For those who don't enjoy flying and worry the plane might crash...

You read a book about air crashes while you're flying....there. Genius.

What are the chances of being involved in an air accident while reading about it? It's got to be minute.

I think about this regularly and have even thought of writing said book split into relevent chapters.

Chapter 1 - Accidents which have happened while the plane is still taxi-ing.

Chapter 2 - Accidents which happen on take off..

Chapter 3 - Mid-air collisions and the like

Anyway you get the picture....discuss

Poor.

That's amazing.

Did someone mention conditional probability?!!

You should write one about motorbike accidents aswell.

[tom77]

But the fear is psychological and this is a psychological way of dealing with it. Obviously, the actual chances are exactly the same.....

Or are they?

Great idea for the flight-fearing adrenaline junkie

Ha! Exactly. Balders was onto something....again, what are the chances?

[Blukoo]

If you increase the amount of people reading about air crashes, during a flight, then the chances are going to increase dramatically.

You might as well write a book about drink driving. Whats the chances of getting caught, or crashing while drink driving, if you're reasing a book about it at the time.

Think about it, it'll same hundreds of lives
