MSN never fails to entertain. When I found this I knew it was the one I wanted to muse about.
Most of you know I am terrified of flying. This article articulates a small part of the many reasons why. I know what you will say: "But this was in Madrid. These things don't happen in America." That doesn't matter to me. There is no rationality in existence that can make me realize how safe flying is. Even my own rational side telling my irrational side the statistics, et cetera, cannot convince me. In fact, if I wasn't the one who asked the stupid question (will the plane tip in mid air?) I most certainly would be thinking it! Luckily, I have no major air travel planned.
Next, please click so we can discuss this lovely pamphlet. It appears to be of Chinese origin. Here we see a sequence of four images. They are more closely related to those in Fight Club. The reason is because of the almost panicky expressions on the subjects faces in the first two drawings. Notice the broken window. (If that happened to the window next to me, I'd be freaking out even more than the woman shown---she's pretty calm.) In the next two pictures, it appears to be a-ok. No torrential wind, no panicking...oh sweet oxygen euphoria.

Don't worry, it's only a safety problem
bwahaha! That's precisely the kind of problem people should worry about.
Indeed, and precisely why it was worth blogging about.
Hahaha. It's too bad you're scared to death of flying. It is (was, actually) my preferred method of travel. Now all the hoops they make you jump through make driving less of a hassle.
ha ha
Um, I think the bigger question is why the lovely woman on the safety card thingy has fingerless hands until the third pane where she is using the oxygen mask. What kind of crazy subliminal message is that sending? "Stay calm or you'll end up with clubs for hands."
She also appears to be smiling in the first frame...I originally interpreted it as hysteria but I could be wrong.
